Join Daniella Saraya and Deganit Stern Schocken in a fascinating journey through the performative side of materials.
Part of Brussels Jewellery Week 2022 >> Check the full BJW program here.
Fire and Flood are uncontrollable phenomena, manifesting a connection between material and movement, a connection that creates great power. These kinds of extreme movements, taking place around the world, are always followed by responding movements such as flight, fear, protest, etc. Movements with social and political value necessarily activate the intimate body as well. In their connection with our body and language, fire and flood can also become metaphors, describing an emotional experience, showing the expressive and performative possibilities of working with different materials.
How do we choose materials for our work?
To what extent do our thoughts, movements and emotions become part of the material we use?
Can the definition of “precious” be stretched to include different materials?
What gives a certain material its value?
Is there value to ephemeral materials?
How do we turn material into an interment object, a jewellery piece?
Join Daniella Saraya and Deganit Stern Schocken in a fascinating journey through the performative side of materials.
