About the Session

Legacy, showcases 16 contemporary practitioners whose work reflects the movement’s enduring spirit of experimentation. Like their predecessors, these art jewellers often work with non-precious materials, producing pieces that are expressive, sculptural and conceptually adventurous.  Through these wearable artworks, the artists employ art jewellery as a critical medium to reflect upon, comment on, and challenge the world around them, exploring questions of identity, place, social standing, cultural practices, and political viewpoints.

Notes

I view contemporary jewellery as a medium through which I can critically reflect on my social and political environment. My research interests include memory studies, narrative, and translation—particularly within a South African context. I continue to make art that both draws from and contributes to these areas of research. Through my practice, I question the stability of memory, translation, and narrative, while also challenging the traditional function of jewellery.
