Madrugada. Jewellery and the Politics of Hope. Part of the 2nd Lisbon Contemporary Jewellery Biennial 2024

The international collective exhibition Madrugada – Jewellery and the Politics of Hope celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, which put an end to 48 years of dictatorship in Portugal and paved the way for the independence of the former Portuguese colonies in Africa. 'Madrugada' owes its name to a beautiful poem by Portuguese poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen about the end of the dark days of totalitarianism.
