Centre for Creation and Residencies
The Estudi General Lul·lià is a place where research, artistic creation and contemporary thought meet. Through residencies, laboratories, grants and cultural initiatives, it drives projects connecting heritage, innovation and community.
The Estudi General Lul·lià is a centre for creation of 3,000 m² in the heart of Palma's old town, supporting research, artistic production and the exchange of knowledge. The centre runs its own programmes of grants, residencies and support for creative work, enabling artists, researchers, writers and other practitioners to develop their projects in an interdisciplinary, stimulating environment connected to Mallorca's cultural context.
Faithful to Ramon Llull's legacy and open to contemporary challenges, the Estudi General drives initiatives that build bridges between the arts, the humanities, science and society. Its principal projects include the Laboratori Llull, dedicated to research and contemporary creation inspired by Lullian thought; the programmes of artistic residencies and international creation grants, which encourage mobility and exchange between artists; and Ulls de Dona, a programme dedicated to cinema from a woman's perspective that promotes critical thinking and cultural dialogue.
Through these initiatives the Estudi General has established itself as a leading centre for artistic production, research and contemporary creation in Mallorca - a living, open space that brings together artists, researchers, institutions and the public, and helps strengthen the island's cultural ecosystem. Local and international at once, the Estudi General is committed to culture as a driver of knowledge, innovation and social change.
What we do as a centre for creation
The Centre for Creation is built around several programmes and initiatives supporting
research, artistic production and dialogue between heritage and the contemporary.

ULLS DE DONA
Ulls de Dona presents a selection of cinema with a feminist perspective. Organised by the Estudi General Lul·lià, this cultural gathering includes screenings of feature films, documentaries and short films, along with discussions and live performances.
CLIMATE ACADEMY
The climate crisis affects many areas of daily life and concerns a growing number of people. In response, several civil society organisations have launched the Climate Academy, a pioneering project in Mallorca that seeks to bring together and connect existing initiatives. Inspired by the Académie du Climat in Paris, it is an independent, citizen-led initiative driven by organisations committed to the environment and to social justice.
LLULL LAB
The Estudi General Lul·lià seeks to promote research around the figure of Ramon Llull, not only on Llull’s own subject matter or on historical Lullism, but on the application of the scientific method he devised, the Ars combinatoria, understood as a research method that interconnects scientific, artistic and humanistic knowledge.
TEENS
TEENS: making cinema about gender violence. The Estudi General Lul·lià becomes a genuine film set where three groups of teenagers shoot their own short fiction films.
CREATIVE GRANT
An international open call for artists of any discipline interested in researching, reinterpreting or reactivating the popular culture of the Illes Balears through contemporary creative practice.
