Eleven international students come together in Florence to showcase a final contemporary jewellery collection that explores various aspects of identity.
The exhibition A PUNTO, reflects on various aspects of identity, which students individually researched and developed as the culmination of their 2-year bachelor course in contemporary jewellery.
The eleven participating students began by challenging themselves and one another to define their unique identities, exploring various social issues, cultural norms and personal experiences in their creative processes.
They also experimented with a variety of materials and techniques, including metalwork, stone cutting, wood carving, etching, cyanotype, 3D printing and more.
While the students represent a multitude of diverse backgrounds, they found the lines of their individuality began to blend and intersect along the way, bringing them to a collective point of synergy.
The result is a curated collection of more than 50 contemporary pieces that celebrate the fusion of similarities and differences between them.
Student participants include:
Milosz Cios (Poland)
Madeleine Kühne-Oertel (Germany)
Mycah Laird (U.S.)
Giulia Lodato (Italy)
Brittany Macchiarola (U.S.)
Ywee Kyu Mone (Myanmar)
Karl Papp (U.S./Bulgaria)
Yicen Qian (China)
Marta Simó (Spain)
Cosima Solms-Baruth (Italy/Germany)
Bian Wentao (China)
