This is the story of a question, of emotions…of nostalgia. The city that witnessed my birth also saw the emergence and development of wonderful creative minds that were starved of culture. Some belonged to dear friends, whom I miss, and who regularly enter my thoughts. On occasions, I wonder if they ever think of me. In this same city, these people also struggle against the lack of support, and the constraints imposed by said culture. In the name of all those who have had to leave that place, in search of a different life, I ask Huelva: do you remember me?
Esta es la historia de dos sentimientos enfrentados en torno a una misma pregunta. Por un lado, la nostalgia. La ciudad que me vio nacer también ha visto crecer a mentes maravillosas, creativas y hambrientas de cultura, muchas pertenecientes a buenos amigos a quienes echo de menos y que siempre tienen un hueco en mis pensamientos. En ocasiones, me pregunto si ellos también se acuerdan de mí. Pero, en esta misma ciudad, es frecuente encontrar a estas personas luchando contra la falta de apoyo y trabas impuestas a dicha cultura. Por ello, y en un tono bien distinto, también me tomo la licencia de preguntar a Huelva en nombre de quienes han tenido que abandonarla para buscarse la vida de otra manera: ¿me recuerdas?
