Post-Talayotic Masks

The Oceanogràfic of the City of Arts and Sciences is hosting the exhibition "Post-Talayotic Masks" by Menorcan artist Enric Servera until May 31. The exhibit features a collection of artistic and ritual masks inspired by the supposed art of the ancient Talayotic inhabitants of Menorca, crafted from debris found along the shore. These masks represent a creative interpretation by the artist of what could resemble the primitive art of the island's inhabitants over 3,000 years ago. Enric Servera constructs these figures using materials gathered from the coast of Menorca, including wood, plastics, remnants of nets, and ropes. The term "post" in the title emphasizes the use of modern plastic materials and other waste caused by contemporary human activities. In this context, the exhibition also aims to raise awareness about marine pollution and the need to keep our seas and oceans clean.
