Brazil huge by its very nature, is a country rich in diversity, as within it, there are various Brazils.
From north to south, from east to west, artists express themselves through jewelry and exploit as well the richness of natural materials generated by the place of their origin, as well as materials modified after being processed.
In this fourth event, where the A CASA museum hosts works of contemporary jewelry, we choose an element that caresses, envelops, entwines, embellishes or challenges NECKLACES.
When it is supported by the human body, the necklace comes alive and enjoys the possibility of getting around spaces, both public and private.
But before leaving on their journey, these jewels will be displayed in A CASA for the appreciation of the public in performances, songs and encounters with the creative artists.

As part of the fourth edition of the Joia Contemporânea Brasileira (Contemporary Brazilian Jewelry) program, an initiative by A CASA since 2011, the exhibition aims to cast light on jewelry which promotes a bridge connecting handicraft and design.
During her research, Miriam focused on a universal element of jewelry present in practically every culture, embodying religious, cultural or simply decorative meanings: the necklace.
Whenever worn on the body, regardless of the material it is made of, the necklace comes alive and acquires mobility amidst public and private spaces, says Miriam.
In Reflexão_Colares, the diversity in techniques and materials becomes the focal point.
Dry leaves, metal, stones, weaving, rubber, wood, among others, are materials used in harmony according to the discourse of each artist, as well as the availability of those raw materials in their respective regions.
According to Renata Mellão, director of A CASA, the choice of the necklace as the element to be highlighted in this exhibition corresponds to A CASA´s tradition to generate debates on themes which combine the traditional and the contemporary.
Even in dealing with such a traditional and popular adornment, our intention is to raise issues pertinent to the present and to the future, by means of materials as well as the creativity of each participating artist, she states.
