About this Event

Exhibition Dates & Times

14 - 19 May

12.00 – 17.00


You are warmly invited to the opening event of Silent Language, a contemporary (art) jewellery exhibition hosted by Yorkshire Artspace at their Persistence Works Gallery in Sheffield.

Bringing together multiple voices and perspectives, Silent Language reflects on what it means to be a woman today, and how lived experience can be translated into material form. The exhibition presents the outcomes of a series of participatory workshops held in Sheffield and Wuhan, where jewellery-making became a means of connection, exchange, and storytelling.

Supported by a British Council Connections Through Culture 2025 award, this international collaboration has been curated by artists and jewellers; Xinru Dai, Maria Hanson, Yusi Wang and Yuxiao Zhu.
