‘L’Encontre’, by Teresa Matas

On May 5, 2005 Teresa Matas lost her son in a car accident. Since then, the artist has had the courage to visit the place where it happened so far, with an action that she has wanted to frame within the Festival Miradas de Mujeres (Eyes of Women Festival).

On March 2 she executed the performance L'Encontre (The meeting), it has become today and projecting video in the Mall C & A Marratxí.

Teresa Matas will make the same tour that her son did on that fatal night. She started walking from the same house from which he did until the exact point of the crash. She will carry a large canvas the artist made that same year with part of her son’s t-shirts.

The II Festival Miradas de Mujeres de Mallorca (II Festival Views of Women from Mallorca), is organized by the association Mujeres en las Artes Visuales (MAV)( Women in the Visual Arts) with activities throughout the month of March. Nearly thirty spaces around the island have joined the initiative, which has more than fifty participants including artists, curators and lecturers.
