Inspired by an ancient children's song and turned into a cultural emblem by the poet Joan Alcover in the early 20th century, Sa Balanguera stands as an archetypal figure: the solitary weaver who constantly spins the threads of time, never resting. Elevated to the official anthem of Mallorca, Sa Balanguera goes beyond a poetic character; it is the embodiment of the collective soul of the Balearic people. Its undefined identity — without age, without a clear gender, and with three faces that shape it — grants it a mythological, universal quality that transcends the individual and the temporal.

This figure refers to archetypes present in various cultures: from the Greek Moirai, who wove and cut the thread of fate, to the Nordic Norns and Roman Fates, spirits of the underworld tasked with charting the future of peoples and individuals from their cosmic loom. In this sense, Sa Balanguera inhabits a liminal space, floating between myth and modernity, the collective and the spiritual, the tangible and the intangible.

In this installation, Manifiesto, Sa Balanguera becomes the symbol of the Balearic zeitgeist: an identity woven over centuries of history but shaken by the dynamics of the present. In the face of mass tourism, speculation, and the cultural dissolution imposed by globalization, the Balearic Islands still weaves, through its people, a narrative of silent resistance.

Presented as a sculpture in Augmented Reality, Sa Balanguera can only be seen through digital devices — an echo of the past reconfigured in the language of the present. This choice is not only technical but profoundly symbolic: to see Sa Balanguera, one must look with different eyes, those of technology and critical awareness. The sculpture is not made of stone or bronze but of pixels and memory.

With this piece, the exhibition concludes with an invitation to reflect on how a cultural identity is constructed and preserved amid global noise. Sa Balanguera does not offer definitive answers, but it poses questions: What threads have we inherited? Which ones are we letting fall? And who will pick them up?

As a figure woven by many hands, Sa Balanguera is the living memory of a people. But it is also a warning: the threads may break if we forget who spins them.
