In my view, Silence is not Golden, but Speech is. An interview with Fumiko Gotô.

Next October 2025, Trilogia: Ressons de Babel, Paraules Guarnides unfolds as a sensorial journey into language. In her third solo exhibition at Hannah Gallery, Fumiko Gotô presents three interwoven series—ENCLOSED, SERIF, and TACTILE—each offering a distinct lens through which to experience communication as ornament, memory, and form.

From the silent power of hidden words to the tactile reading of Braille and the lines of typography, Gotô’s works transform language into art jewellery that can be read, touched, and worn. The 20 brooches on display invite visitors not only to look, but to sense—to discover how meaning can be carried through material and gesture as much as through speech.
