Open Call for Global Contemporary Jeweller’s Documentary. Hope & Future

Open call for global contemporary jeweller’s documentary of 2020, show your jewellery practice across the world. During the Beijing Design Week 2020, which is also the 600 years birthday of Temple of Heaven (Est.1420), we plan a special session for contemporary art jewellery: a documentary on contemporary art jewellery. A global documentary on contemporary art jewellery was never officially produced in China, so it might be a historical time in the special year. Future ideas show in the historical sites, so I called it Hope&Future. No matter you and your works come to China before or not, but this time people will see your works and listen to your statement in this important fair 2020. The Growth & Evolution International Jewellery Exhibition will also travel to here as the final stop. Hope we can stand together present contemporary art jeweller’s voice no matter our skin colours. Filming contemporary jeweller’s passion for the future. All selected videos will be edited into a professional documentary and it will present officially during the Beijing design week 2020 [September] with the final stop of the Growth & Evolution International Jewellery Exhibition.
