Jewellery – Linking Bodies students excursion to the Dutch Design Week 2024 and Van Abbemuseum

on October 23rd 2024 the students of the Jewellery- Linking Bodies department have embarked on a day trip to Eindhoven to visit the Body exhibition as part of the DDW24 and the exhibition Soils at the Van Abbemuseum. The excursion was initiated by our theory tutor Angela Jerardi and accompanied by our guest tutor Gitte Nygaard.

The Body Project as part of the Dutch Design week 2024 is an ongoing dialogue between different makers, their work and its focus on the body and to re-contextualize the context of jewelry by examining the relationship with the body as a framework and questioning the relationship between the body and the object.

Soils at the Van Abbemuseum explores a renewed connection with our soils as the foundation of our lives. It is where our ancestors once lived and where future generations will build an existence. It is the link between past, present and future. The source that feeds us. But the relationship between human and earth is also often strained. From land depletion and overproduction to land grabbing and (labour) exploitation. How can we re-ground ourselves in our environment? And how does that help us reconnect with each other? The group exhibition Soils addresses these questions. International artists, designers, farmers and activists work towards more empathy for our soils.

Dear Friends of the Jewellery- Linking Bodies department, 

It is this time of the year again!  

We are happy and proud to present our graduating student of 2024: 

Martina Bucci  

This year’s graduation is extraordinary with Martina presenting her work and representing the Jewellery – Linking Bodies department at the Rietveld Pavilion. 

Martina investigates in detail what puts us into relation. Her collective jewellery pieces can be considered intimate and fragile objects related to the body, offering explorations and encouraging social interactions. 

We look forward to welcoming you at the pavilion, amongst an exciting show presenting the graduates of 2024
