Winners of the Inflow Contemporary Art Jewelry Exhibition 2025

The Inflow International Contemporary Art Jewelry Exhibition and Conference is an international platform exploring the boundaries of contemporary art jewelry at the intersection of applied and fine arts. The mission of Inflow is to elevate contemporary jewelry as a form of wearable art, emphasising its narrative power and cultural significance.

Its central theme in 2025 was Narrative Space Transformation, Jewelry is approached as a relational medium, shaped through the dynamic interaction of maker – wearer – viewer, existing at once as a wearable object, conceptual gesture, and space of ideas.

In 2025, Inflow presented more than 300 works from 29 countries at two venues in Budapest and Szentendre. The exhibitions were accompanied by conferences, collaborative workshops, concerts, and participatory programs that fostered knowledge exchange and creative community building.

The Awarding Night was held at the Ferenczy Museum Centre ArtMill on August 30, 2025.
