The Maritime Museum of Mallorca launches the second cycle of talks on maritime heritage "Converses amb la mar." It is a project, in its second edition, that wants to bring the maritime heritage and culture of Mallorca closer together and does so with a series of talks, which can be enjoyed on a Saturday a month at the headquarters of the museum in Palma.

The first of these talks will take place at the Cultural Centre Ses Voltes on January 09, 2021, at 11 a.m., and will be carried out by Manuel Gómez Planas, an expert in maritime heritage, under the title "What a destination has the collection of the former Balearic Sea Museum."

The talk will be about "the wealth of our maritime heritage, which ranges from its colonization to today, but historically forgotten. Everything together makes it necessary and necessary to carry out an inventory, in order to know what has really come to this day, with special interest in the fate of the pieces of the former Balearic Sea Museum, doing detective, but exciting work," explains the expert on maritime heritage, Manuel Gómez Planas.

The second talk of the cycle will be on Saturday, February 13, also at the Cultural Centre Ses Voltes, under the title "El nou Museu Marítima de Mallorca" and will be in charge of Tatum and Golomb and the managing director of the Museu Marítima de Mallorca, Albert Forés Gómez, also at 11 a.m.

This second talk will present the design of the exhibition rooms of Ses Voltes, headquarters of the Maritime Museum of Mallorca. For it, the Museum has the work of the design studio Tatum & Golomb.

Finally, and to end this second cycle, the third talk will be by historian Ariana Domínguez García, under the title "Dones, mar i terra." Dominguez will talk to us about the role women have in the world of artisanal fishing. "We will see what activities women have traditionally carried out, such as the sale of fish, but as they have also done some tasks that people have not normally seen, such as fishing," says Ariana Dominguez.

In addition, he will talk about how the activities linked to the sea that make men and women are not separate worlds, on the contrary, "we will analyze how links are generated where the family and the community are of fundamental importance," the historian concludes.

This last presentation will be on Saturday 13 March, also at 11 a.m., and with it will close this second cycle, which will continue in the following months with other hours, already in the afternoon.
