Open Call for Priorities Exhibition

This exhibition does not seek to reassure. It challenges. It questions what we have accepted as self-evident for far too long and invites us to rethink our own priorities — perhaps even to redefine them.
What becomes clear is this: priorities in jewellery art are never purely aesthetic. They speak of identity, belonging, sustainability, and of what artists and wearers perceive as essential.
A total of 20 national and international jewellery artists.
