Cannibal Nature: Curated by Rolando J. Carmona
5 June - 1 September 2025 Mallorca

  • Baró Galeria is pleased to announce CANNIBAL NATURE, a group exhibition curated by Rolando J. Carmona, to be presented on the occasion of Art Palma Summer 2025, opening on June 5.


    Presenting over 13 artists from 11 nationalities, the exhibition brings together diverse artistic practices that reflect complex relationships between the body, biological ecosystems, and contemporary mythologies. Divided into two sections—”Antropofagias: body/nature” and “Contemporary mythologies / animist landscapes”—the exhibition offers a reflection on the interdependence between the human and the non-human, the physical and the spiritual, the ancestral and the futuristic.

    The first section, Antropofagias: body/nature, features works by Alymamah Rashed (KW), Estevan Davi (BR), Tecla Tofano (VZL), Jeanne Gaigher (ZA), Mie Olise Kjærgaard (DK), and Geoneide Brandão (BR). This part explores the body as a living archive in direct dialogue with ecological forms and material transformations.

    The second section, Contemporary mythologies / animist landscapes, includes artists Bruno Novelli (BR), Mamali Shafahi (IR), Tabita Rezaire (FR), Yussef Agbo-Ola (US), Patricia Domínguez (CL), and Oscar Santillán (EC). Their works suggest myth-making processes and animist perspectives that reimagine relationships with territory, memory, and other life forms.

    The selection evokes an ambivalent relationship with nature, as if through a symbolic gesture of anthropophagy. Through painting, sculpture, video, and installation, the artists explore the sensitive connections between human and animal intelligence, land and spirit, creating hybrid narratives that emerge in the face of ecological and cultural transformation.
