Public diplomacy, aimed at sustainable cultural, socio-economic, financial, digital development, tourism, has become the main vector of events in Spain, initiated by the authorities of Barcelona and the Government of Moscow.
A Plenary Session and a series of Round Tables on the exchange of best practices in a sustainable urban environment, taking into account the conditions of the "new reality" were held in Barcelona in early January. Elmira Shcherbakova, an expert on cultural and humanitarian cooperation of the Moscow Government and Chairman of the Council for International Cultural Cooperation of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly, took part in the events.
In her opinion, the peoples of Spain and Russia have always had and will continue to have a mutual interest in each other's art, traditions and languages. Cultural events with the participation of Muscovites, such as the one held in Barcelona, clearly show that people are interested and want to know more about each other's lives, about the capitals of states not only as megacities, but also as living, dynamic, culturally developing organisms.
“We find ourselves in Barcelona, a city with unlimited cultural appeal, very lively, always on the move, just like in Moscow,” - said Elmira Shcherbakova. She also proposed a number of joint cultural initiatives related to the organization in Russia of an exhibition of Picasso's photographs from the vaults of the Circle House of Arts.
“The House of Arts in Barcelona houses a large collection of rare photographs of Picasso, in which you can see snapshots of his daily life, fragments of the captured manifestations of his human qualities. This photo gallery of the life of the world-famous master can be presented in Moscow and other cities of Russia,” - suggested Elmira Shcherbakova. “Picasso is just a living person” – this title of the new exhibition will undoubtedly attract the attention of many viewers and help to better understand both art and the human genius of the great artist.”
The events in Barcelona confirmed the mutual interest in cooperation between the peoples of Spain and Russia, as well as a number of other countries in the field of culture, art, historical and cultural heritage and science.
