Cannibal Nature – Curated by Rolando J. Carmona
5 June @ 18:00 - 15 September @ 18:00
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 on the complex relationships between bodies, environments, and symbolic systems.
Divided into two sections—”Antropofa-gias: body/nature” and “Contemporary mythologies / animist landscapes”—the exhibition offers a reflection on the inter-dependence 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.
