The concept of identity invites us to look within ourselves - but do we exist without the other? In a time shaped by AI and increasing threats to individual freedom, it feels urgent to reflect on what defines us - and wearing jewelry is a gesture of self-expression.

What does the jewelry we create reveal about us?
What meanings does it acquire for those who wear it?
Let jewelry speak: for the causes we defend, the values we hold and the singularities that make us human.

The opening of this amazing group exhibition of unique characteristics will be at Tincal lab, shop 3 of Centro Comercial Bombarda, on the date of Simultaneous Openings at Porto’s Miguel Bombarda quarter: November 14, and it can be visited until the end of 2026. On the opening day, the catalog for this edition will be released, and the winner of the Jury Selection Award will be announced. The public will also be invited to vote for their favorite artists, either in person or online, until the end of the year. The three award winners will have the opportunity to exhibit at Tincal lab during the following year.


Opening reception: Saturday, 14 November, 16h - 20h
Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 11h - 19h
