A conversation with Aina Frau on tradition, change and environmental awareness
Sustainability is also built from lived experience and collective memory. People who have witnessed the region’s transformation over time offer valuable insight into how the Balearic Islands have changed and what challenges they face today. Listening to these voices allows us to reflect on the impact of our habits and on the importance of preserving cultural identity and the environment.
In the Converses series, Aina Segura talks to people from different backgrounds, who offer their personal thoughts on sustainability, the land and the way of life. These conversations reveal personal experiences from a critical perspective, creating a space where lived experience is the tool for reflecting on the present and future of the islands.
In this episode, Aina Segura talks to Aina Frau, an 81-year-old actress who has spent most of her professional career in mainland Spain. A direct witness of the profound changes experienced in the Balearic Islands, Frau shares how a life of travelling has influenced her current environmental awareness. Faithful to tradition, she lives in an old country estate with a strong character and champions ‘lo nostro’ (‘our own’) as a way of understanding culture, the islands and a more eco-friendly relationship with the environment.
