ABOUT BALEARIC ISLANDS UNIVERSITY. In collaboration with the University of the Balearic Islands and Polytechnic University of Catalonia, our research focuses on botanical dyes from the Balearic Islands, exploring their applications in textiles and paintings. Our work focuses on revitalizing the legacy of plants once essential in arts and crafts. These botanicals, renowned for their vivid colors and cultural significance, faded due to economic shifts favoring cheaper synthetic dyes rather than any inherent flaws. Through reintroduction, we seek to showcase their enduring value, offering unique shades and environmental benefits aligned with sustainability efforts. These plants embody a rich cultural heritage, connecting us to ancient practices and wisdom.
