Contemporary Jewelry in the Ibero-America exhibition to promote a reflection on contemporary manufacturing that will make us re-think the cultural heritage of each artist and the relations this establishes. Each of the 23 areas that make up the exhibition plan where the pieces are displayed represents a member nation of UCCI - Union of Ibero-American Capital Cities.
The artists’ names and nationalities are not displayed in order that their cultural identity and heritage can be probed and questioned. The public is invited to seek the origin of each group of artists and interact in loco by trying to discover their nationality - and leave a flag sticker at each area.
