Schools Meeting and Exhibition. Part of the 3rd Lisbon Contemporary Jewellery Biennial 2026

Six international schools with distinct approaches to contemporary jewellery were invited to take part. Students were asked to work freely around the Biennial's theme, “Coexistences”, opening the way for unexpected dialogues between young participants from across the world.
The selected works will premiere on 25 September, the day of the meeting at Ar.Co between students and teachers from these institutions. Taken as a whole, the exhibition will document the eclecticism and originality that define the field of Contemporary Jewellery.
