# Cultural Craft Programs lov.YATRA Launched Through a Partnership Between LOV. Foundation and XTANT By Amy Duong | Published 2026-08-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovyatra References: [lov.foundation](https://lov.foundation/)  lov.YATRA debuted in Mallorca as the first initiative developed through a long-term partnership between LOV. Foundation and XTANT focused on craft, textiles and preserving creative knowledge across generations. The [immersive program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobu-hotel-los-cabos) brought together artists, cultural figures and creative practitioners for visits to studios, galleries and historic landmarks across the island. Bellver Castle hosted We Grow in Circles, a peace activation created by LOV. Foundation and artist Orly Anan, while XTANT Nomad gathered an international community working across contemporary craft. The program included access to Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, La Seu and Can Vivot, a 14th-century palace maintained by the same family for 21 generations. Participants also visited Son Moragues in the [UNESCO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhumances-iii)-listed Serra de Tramuntana to explore [regenerative agriculture and land stewardship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cap-maison-and-ladera). Culinary experiences at Brut Restaurant and Bar LaSang highlighted local ingredients, fermentation practices and independent food production as part of Mallorca's broader creative landscape.
