After the two editions in Barcelona of 1985 and 1987 the Biennial of Young Artists from Mediterranean Europe went back in Spain.The events that were affecting Europe, like the Yugoslav Wars, with the consequent changes in the borders, the dismantling of some Countries and the birth of new ones, were reflected in the circuit of the Biennial, which welcomed new Countries for its VI edition, such as Croatia.The Biennial could be considered as an answer to the challenges carried out by those changes, since it gave us the trust in the future of the young artists.
