Welcome! I’m a multidisciplinary artist~facilitator connecting people with themselves, their surroundings and the planet.
Through a range of approaches based on listening to nature~culture and ecological practices across geographies, disciplines and walks of life, I invite us to reimagine our role within the ecosystems and communities we call home.
CURRENT
La próxima edición de SUELO Mallorca en la Biennal B de Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani de Palma es el Taller de llata: el legado de Ses Madones de Capdera, a llevarse a cabo el próximo 8 de mayo de 10 a 13h en el Castell de Capedera con La Escuela Artesana.
La llata es el nombre genérico que se le da en Capdepera, y en algunos lugares de Mallorca, a la cestería tradicional hecha con hojas de palmito. Esta icónica cestería, que resuena con prácticas ancestrales a lo largo y ancho del planeta, junta el cuidado de la única palmera autóctona de la isla, el garballó o palmito, con un patrimonio artesanal de gran importancia.
En este taller, que impulsamos desde el programa de Biennal B, hablaremos de Ses Madones de sa llata y nos adentraremos en las raíces de esta artesanía, Conoceremos los procesos, desde la recolección de las hojas de palmito a los diferentes pasos de la elaboración de las cestas. Sentadas en un círculo de sillas, emulando a Ses Madones, las personas que participen, aprenderán a preparar las hojas y hacer llata, el trenzando que da nombre a esta artesanía y que es la base de cualquier cesta. En contacto con esta artesanía, a través de nuestras manos, y dentro del círculo, nos transportaremos a otro tiempo y a otro ritmo, en el que volveremos a vincularnos con la capacidad humana para crear y construir en comunidad.
La sesión estará guiada por las manos expertas de Araceli Iranzo y Antonella Farris, de La Escuela Artesana y Antic Mallorca, respectivamente. La Escuela Artesana ha recibido el premio Promoción Artesana de Mallorca, concedido por el Consell de Mallorca. Antic Mallorca ha sido seleccionada para formar parte de la marca de garantía moda artesana de Mallorca, del Consell de Mallorca. También forma parte de la guía España Artesana y de la guía europea de artesanía Homo Faber.

SUELO Mallorca seeks to articulate and share the natural and cultural value of the island to rethink its present and consider a more regenerative future for the Balearic Islands. Through field trips in different locations, we connect with the island’s deep past, with ecological initiatives and experiences connected to all the senses.
SUELO Mallorca inscribes itself in the wide-reaching Biennal B, a transversal project that integrates art, crafts, science and design to rethink the present and future of the Balearic Isles, led by Es Baluard Museu.
SUELO Field Guide / Guía de campo available now in print
The SUELO Field Guide is your guidebook to the SUELO Methodology, born from a pilot multidisciplinary residency program with Estudio Nuboso, to reconnect with the places we inhabit through soil as sustenance, home, land, ecoystems and territory.
SUELO helps you design your own path of inquiry, tap into the natural and cultural value of a selected place, create networks of collaborative solidarity, and engage in regenerative practices for a better present and possible futures.
After five years of conceiving of SUELO as a methodology for anyone to practice in their selected location, I have published the SUELO Guía de campo and Field Guide (the English version) with Estudio Nuboso and the kind support of Fundación Marea Verde and Serpentine Gallery, UK.

Tune in! To my TEJIENDO CORREDORES~WEAVING CORRIDORS PODCAST RIGHT HERE, on some podcast platforms, or on my SUBSTACK, where you can also pledge your support for the continuation of this podcast and other work I share there.
What if we become, create, grow a nature-culture corridor of solidarity and action beyond borders? What if we encourage ecological connectivity and resilience across ecosystems, from the local to the planetary, through gestures and practices of care for the Earth ~ all its beings ~ all its cycles.
MY NEXT COURSE ART AND ECOLOGY COURSE ON NODE IS IN JUNE! STAY TUNED!
How can art address issues such as nature, regeneration and climate justice? What can we learn from activist methods to create projects that bring actual change? This course focuses on expanding the potentials of ecologically engaged art practices.
Over five weeks, we learn from case studies and thinkers who offer innovative approaches to climate justice and to reimagine our relationship with nature. With the aim of moving beyond mere representation, we explore how to apply ecological principles to creative projects that inspire action.
Since the essence of ecology is relating, the course takes the form of an open dialogue where you can share your processes. Designed for artists, curators, activists, and researchers, this course provides you with a critical framework to ensure your work contributes meaningfully to the urgent conversations shaping our planet’s future.
