Master programme, 120 credits, full-time studies, daytime.

The contemporary view of jewellery includes the body as an arena for narratives. The possibility of using one's own body to convey a message - becoming one's own gallery - stands in stark contrast to the generalised narratives about the body and identity that we are often offered in our time.

The discussion about corpus and jewellery that is taking place at CRAFT!Jewellery and Corpus is based on a time when we can highlight other, alternative perspectives on the encounter with the materials. We explore how these perspectives are affected by the subject's specific roots in a corpus and jewellery tradition.
At CRAFT! Jewellery and Corpus we investigate how jewellery and corpus can be translated into different practices with a focus on the present and future rather than confirming already existing notions. This means that we focus on jewellery and corpus both as a method and an object where critical perspectives and dialogues about our art forms open up new understandings and possibilities in a wider social context.
