'Feim un capfico?' exhibition arrives in Pollença

The MARE exhibition, on display from the 10th to the 30th of November in Ca les Monnares square, has been made possible through collaboration with the Fundació Guillem Cifre de Colonya and Pollença Town Council.

Ca les Monnares square in Pollença will host the travelling exhibition “Feim un capfico?” from the 10th to the 30th of November 2026. Organised by MARE in collaboration with the Fundació Guillem Cifre de Colonya and Pollença Town Council, this will be the exhibition’s final stop. It will conclude its tour by bringing the Balearic Sea closer to residents and visitors, inviting them to immerse themselves in its waters, learn more about the surrounding marine environment and take an active role in its conservation. The exhibition offers different levels of engagement according to visitors’ interests. Through photography and knowledge, “Feim un capfico?” offers an intimate view of the Balearic Sea, combining visual impact with educational content to build an emotional connection and raise environmental awareness.

The photographs featured in the exhibition are the 32 award-winning works from the sixth edition of MARE FOTO, the Photography Competition for the Conservation of the Balearic Sea. This is one of the main initiatives of the MARE project, which brings together art, science and the community to inspire action to protect the Balearic Sea.

The exhibition’s opening was attended by Biel Bauzà, general manager of Colonya Caixa Pollença, and Esther Luna, director of the Fundació Guillem Cifre de Colonya. Pollença Town Council was represented by Steffy Pozo, Antoni Cànaves, Joana Xamena and Catalina Carbonell, members of the municipal governing team.

The director of the Fundació Guillem Cifre de Colonya highlighted that “supporting initiatives like this is also a way of contributing to environmental awareness, culture and knowledge of our surroundings, values that are fully aligned with our commitment to our islands and society”. Esther Luna also offered a preview of the forthcoming collaboration between the two organisations. “Thanks to MARE, Colonya’s 2027 calendar will feature a selection of truly extraordinary images of our sea. Our customers will soon be able to collect this calendar from Colonya’s 24 branches across Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza,” she said.

With this final stop in Pollença, MARE brings the 2026 tour of “Feim un capfico?” to a close. Collaboration with the Fundació Guillem Cifre de Colonya and Pollença Town Council has made it possible to bring the exhibition to Ca les Monnares square and share with the local community an initiative that combines photography, knowledge and marine conservation.
