The City of Difference
When diversity is, simply, essential

Until now in Barcelona and, in the near future, in Madrid, Marseille and Israel, the exhibition "The City of Difference", organised by the Baruch Spinoza Foundation, has strongly intended to demonstrate, through texts, pictures, audiovisuals, games, testimonies..., that it is precisely the difference, the collaboration among the different people, which makes it possible to go forward, to progress, to survive. All things considered, a beautiful and a didactic discourse in defence of a "unique race, the human race".

At the beginning, a huge Babel Tower invites the visitor to reflect on the need for diversity. Inside, twelve television monitors constantly bombard the public with images of an anodyne man in a city full with people boringly anodyne and homogeneous. After this bombarding of homogeneity, an invitation: "I see the city of difference, a city that speaks about you". And the fact is that the main message of this exhibition is the verification that the different people are not "the others", that "we are all" different, that "the difference is within you". That the difference is precisely our enormous wealth, our possibility to meet, to communicate, to progress.
