Integrating the 5th edition of the Joia Contemporânea Brasileira Program, an initiative of the A Casa Museum that started in 2011, the exhibition seeks to illuminate jewelry works that manage to promote the union between arts, crafts, and design. According to the curator, metals, gems, wood, leather, vegetable fibers, fabrics, and other materials dialogue with a wide variety of colors and shapes. This mixture of elements – now contrasting, now complimentary - and available both in Brazil and in Finland, if reflected in objects endowed with personality and to provoke reflections on adornments, originality, materials, and clothing, she adds.

In 2018, Miriam Mirna presented the work of 36 Brazilian artists at the Jewelry KORU6, in Helsinki. The Finnish reception of Brazilian work has narrowed ties between the jewelry production of the two countries, which makes the A Casa Museum now receive the 16 works from Finland.

Although A Casa Museum is focused on the development of handicrafts and design Brazilians, we have a certain tradition of receiving jobs from outside the country and putting them in touch with Brazilian artists. In the case of contemporary jewelry, our interest is in the intention that is placed in the piece, and the raw material used is part of that intention.
/Renata Mellão, director of the A Casa Museum.
