2nd Lisbon Biennial of Contemporary Jewelry 

Imagem da notícia: 2nd Lisbon Biennial of Contemporary Jewelry 

The 2nd Lisbon Biennial of Contemporary Jewelry seeks to reflect on how jewelry expresses and represents politics and power. 

“Political Jewelry. Jewelry of Power” is the motto of this second edition, which seeks to encompass these two dimensions, and the title “Madrugada” is inspired by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen’s poem.  

The aim of this curatorial exercise is to “explore jewelry and the act of adorning the body as a political instrument of restructuring, detail, care, and activism. The exhibition aims to show the vitality of the political expression of contemporary artistic jewelry, through transgenerational, transdisciplinary, and transcultural visions, revealing diverse understandings, in a comprehensive approach to what political jewelry is today.” 

Madrugada’s curatorial team “believes that the 90 or so artists presented, each in their own way, show us, through their capacity for immense work and attention, unique methodologies that explore adornment as a means of transformation, of intimacies and political spheres, to dream and foreshadow the revolutions of tomorrow.” 

The international group exhibition “Madrugada – Jewellery and the Matter of Hope” is open to the public from June 28th to September 22nd at MUDE Fora de Portas, Lisbon.
