Open Call for the MFA programme CRAFT, Jewellery and Corpus 2023

Our everyday lives consist largely of handling different materials, objects and situations associated with these. In this handling, an understanding of the individual is formed in dialogue with the surrounding society. Depending on how the individual is formulated, how this handling manifests, as well as the context in which it occurs, different understandings of concepts such as object, material, space and body arise. The contemporary view of jewellery includes the body as an arena for stories. The opportunity to convey a message using an individual’s body, to be one's own gallery, stands in stark contrast to the generalising narratives about the body and our identities that we are often faced with today.

The discussion about corpus and jewellery that is ongoing at CRAFT! Jewellery and Corpus is taking place at a time in which we can highlight other alternative perspectives in our interaction with materials and what they bring with them from their specific roots in a corpus and jewellery tradition. At CRAFT! Jewellery and Corpus we investigate how jewellery and corpus can be transformed in different practices that focus on the contemporary and future rather than confirming existing notions. This means that we focus on jewellery and corpus both as methods and objects.
