Aotearoa Jewellery: Unmapping & Remarking

Aotearoa Jewellery: Unmapping & Remarking brings together a group of NZ artists whose practices traverse the conceptual and wearable dimensions of jewellery.

 Positioned on the periphery of the 25th Sydney Biennial, the exhibition offers a poetic counterpoint—one that unsettles inherited geographies and inscribes new meanings through material, form, and gesture.

In dialogue with the Biennial’s theme Rememory, artists are invited to engage with ideas of location, connection, and cultural mapping. Whether the memory is personal, ancestral, or collective, this exhibition holds space for jewellery as a site of resistance, resonance, and renewal.

Opening Celebration: Thursday 23 April 5:30pm to 7:30pm

 Participating artists:

• Fran Alison

• Vanessa Arthur

• Andrea Daly

• Shane Hartdegen

• Brendon Monson

• Renee Pearson

• Moniek Schrijer

• Caroline Thomas

• Grace Yu-Piper
