Political Jewelry. Jewelry of Power at NYC Jewelry Week 2024

Confronting and denouncing major gaps in societies, objects, and in particular jewelry, are not passive agents, but actively mediate our experience of the world as a social and political fabric that, being reparative, permeates emerging ideas and contemporary forms of protest. Explore jewelry as a political instrument of restructuring, detail, care and activism.
