Galeria Núcleo announces the opening of the Latin American call for entries to select 5 contemporary jewelers, one from each participating country: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, for solo exhibitions throughout 2027.
This call for entries is part of the development of the book "The Contemporary Jewelry Movement in Latin America," and expands its reach by creating, at Galeria Núcleo, a physical platform for visibility, thought, and circulation of works by Latin American jewelry artists.
Inspired by the BJW book, the theme guides a curatorship that seeks to highlight: the narrative and cultural strength of materialities; the plurality of individual poetics; the relationships between territory, identity, ancestry, and experimentation; jewelry as a language that shifts boundaries and creates new perceptions of the body, the object, and the world.
The curatorship will evaluate how each proposal dialogues with the contemporary vision of Latin American jewelry, in line with Galeria Núcleo's mission to deepen narratives and expand signature practices.
