Finca Son Mut, Llucmajor, Mallorca

This multi-media art exhibition examined the relation between nature, art and cultural identity. Mallorca as an island and the global pandemic as a period of isolation, both can lead to detachment from society. In the case of Mallorca, however, the combination of these two factors has recently led to a new wave of creativity. in particular a rediscovery of local materials and traditions. 

Through photography, sculpture, painting, film and textiles, the contributing artists addressed various aspects of island life, including political and socio-economic influences that have long existed as part of Mallorca’s communal heritage. 

The exhibition was curated by Benjamin Merten & Lily Sielaff for Mallorcalma – an online platform dedicated to exploring the soul of the island, its natural splendor as well as all forms of sustainable living. Part of the profits will still be donated to Amics de la Terra, an NGO that has as its goal in the preservation of Mallorca’s environment. Works by:
