This year, Louane Schneider and Nüma Katombe are DNSEP/Masters students who graduate from HEAR. The projects were presented at a major public event during the Festival des Diplômes 2024, here and now, which begins with a time dedicated to professionals: meetings and preview visits bring together students, teachers, local and regional businesses and representatives of French and international artistic and cultural organisations.
Artist list
Nüma Katombe, Louane Schneider
As a public establishment, HEAR provides higher education courses (equivalent to Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees) in visual arts, design and music. At Strasbourg campus, the option Art–Object is situated within contemporary art oriented training and includes the Clay/Ceramic, Glass, Jewellery, Metal, Paper/Book and Wood workshops, some of which date back to the 1892 origins of the Ecole supérieure des arts décoratifs of Strasbourg. Closely related to the field of sculpture, in its current manifestation ranging from actions to installations, the notion of object goes beyond the artist’s book and jewellery. Through the use of diverse materials and high-level knowhow, students discover unexpected forms and expressions and produce new aesthetic approaches.
The Jewellery Workshop borders on contemporary art and design. It is a place for acquiring and using techniques and for generating ideas related to the intrinsic qualities of the jewel and the complex evolution of body adornment. Students develop a relevant personal vision through the use of various materials and know-how. Whether an object of power or a popular Art–Object, the jewel is a small zone of materiality and jewellery is a portable art, situated on the body.

Nüma Katombe
I have discovered a new world. Equipped with my exploration tools, I set off towards this unknown place. At first glance, this world is uninhabited and made up mostly of a smooth, malleable and transparent material. Which surprisingly refracts light well, creating dazzling beams of light. With each of my steps, this crystal-clear material is enchanted and in a thousand clicks, it transforms. From a smooth and soft appearance, it becomes opaque and angular, forming conglomerates of crystals. Animal, Plant or Mineral? I took some of these specimens with me to study and enshrine them to preserve and to present them to my peers.
Coming from multiple cultures and origins, from a Congolese father, a Greek mother, I was born in Noumea in New Caledonia, Kanaky, located in the South Pacific Ocean.
I have started my studies with a degree in animal and plant biology in Noumea and then joined the National Art Academy of Dijon, where I, during the lockdown, self-taught myself in jewellery techniques. Finally, I joined the HEAR of Strasbourg in the jewellery workshop.
At the crossroads of these multiple influences, my inspiration draws as much from sciences as from art, like gesture, know-how and customs.
A journey through time, space and matter, I wrote an exploration story used as a narrative source for my production. Between sculptural and wearable objects, my creations are part of the world of Art and Contemporary Jewelry by highlighting different physicochemical processes.

Louane Schneider
Drawing on my memories, I create objects – material transpositions of moments, sensations and encounters. The hand is at the heart of the process, gathering, welcoming, caressing, sculpting, then opening, revealing, offering and sharing. The time spent sculpting fills the object with thoughts and memories – so as not to forget. As the sea gouges out the cliffs, as the river rolls over the pebbles, forms and shapes slowly emerge. Then the object passes into other hands – transmission and rupture – its meaning flies away. It opens up, welcoming new sensations for those who look at it, touch
it, make it their own.
