Becatalaiòtica 2020 is almost coming to an end! Through out the month of November and the beginning of December this cultural project, created by Associació Amics del Museu de Menorca, will showcase the proposals of the four remaining finalists. The goal has always been to shine a light on young emerging talent, vindicate the inspirational value of our landscapes and promote the candidacy of Menorca Talaiòtica as world heritage site among a wider audience. The first event was celebrated on October 25th.
The stage for Becatalaiòtica is set at the different archeological sites that comprise Talayotic Menorca, where the five finalists (youngsters between the ages of 16 and 25) showcase their projects. All fields of study and means of expression are valid, as long as scientific knowledge is respected and kept at the forefront of the proposal.
The assisting audience is a crucial part in valuing the content, originality and evocative power of each proposal. The winning proposal will be granted a 2.000 € scholarship.
Maite Mira (Alicante, 2000), a student of Economics and History, was the first finalist to present her project at So na Caçana last October 25th. “Menorca 206 ANE” is the title of her role playing game, where decisions are taken based on each player's intuition and knowledge of Menorca's past.
The upcoming events are:
