El Bosque Protector: Five Artists Explore Desertification in Free Exhibition at Sant Antoni

10. November 2026

A collective exhibition exploring the climate crisis, desertification and the importance of protecting natural ecosystems is on display at Far de ses Coves Blanques in Sant Antoni de Portmany. Titled El bosque protector. Miradas artísticas ante la desertificación (The Protective Forest: Artistic Perspectives on Desertification), the exhibition brings together five artists who use different creative disciplines to reflect on the relationship between people and the natural environment.

The exhibition opened on 6 November 2026 and will remain open to visitors until Saturday 28 November. Admission is free, with works presented through painting, sculpture, assemblage and other artistic forms.

The project forms part of the cultural programme organised by the Sant Antoni Town Council's Department of Culture.

Five Artists Bring Different Perspectives to the Climate Crisis

The exhibition features the work of five participating artists:

  • Julia Fragua

  • Carmen Almécija

  • Pep Monerris ‘Bagaix’

  • Augusto Moreno

  • Lina Andiñach

Together, their contributions explore environmental protection, the progressive separation of human beings from nature and the importance of preserving forests and natural ecosystems.

Rather than approaching the subject exclusively through messages of environmental guilt, the artists propose a more intimate and hopeful perspective. Their intention is to encourage visitors to pause, reconsider their relationship with the natural world and reconnect with the environment through artistic expression.

The different disciplines provide several ways of approaching the subject, with painting, sculpture and assemblage forming part of the exhibition's collective language.

Art as a Way to Reflect on Desertification and Forest Protection

The exhibition places forests at the centre of its environmental message, highlighting their importance to ecological balance and the preservation of natural landscapes.

Desertification and the climate crisis provide the wider context for the works, encouraging visitors to consider the consequences of environmental degradation and the importance of protecting natural resources.

Through the combination of different materials and artistic approaches, the participating creators use art as a means of environmental awareness and social reflection.

The exhibition also explores the relationship between nature, matter and artistic creation, offering a perspective that moves beyond conventional environmental communication.

Opening Event Included the Live Performance Absorbiendo CO2

The exhibition was inaugurated on Friday 6 November at 19:00.

The opening programme included Absorbiendo CO2, a live artistic action involving Lina Andiñach, the other participating artists and Ibizan poet Júlia Roig.

The performance formed part of the exhibition's wider exploration of the relationship between artistic creation and environmental awareness.

The opening event has already taken place, while the collective exhibition continues throughout November.
