The event was attended by the Director General of Language Policy of the Government of the Balearic Islands, Beatriu Defior; the Commissioner for Joan Fuster Year, Damià Pons, and the Director of the Municipal Library of Eivissa, Fanny Tur.

The exhibition features fourteen panels explaining the life and legacy of the Valencian intellectual, and three more dedicated to Fuster’s relationship with the Balearic Islands. The curator of the exhibition is Salvador Ortells, who is also the curator of the Fuster Year in the Valencian Country as well as the director of the Espai Fuster.

The initiative has been promoted by the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua and organised by the Dirección General de Política Lingüística del Govern de les Illes Balears in collaboration with the Ajuntament d’Eivissa.

The Government of the Balearic Islands, together with the Generalitat Valenciana and the Generalitat de Catalunya, has declared 2022 Joan Fuster Year, in commemoration of the centenary of the birth of this intellectual, writer and cultural activist.
