About

An exhibition spotlighting the work of five female artists from Chile. This group of remarkable women have been chosen for how they make jewellery with an awareness of their territory, using techniques and materials imbued with cultural meaning. Their pieces highlight the characteristics of the land they live in and the wisdom of their ancestors. 

The artists have come in person to London to present the exhibition and visitors are invited to get to know them, their stories, their territory and their roots. The pieces are made by hand with pure silver combined with copper, picoyo (an endemic Chilean material), granite stone and ceramics. Techniques used include basketry, engraving and pottery.

There will be an opening drinks reception on Wednesday evening from 5pm featuring wine sponsored by Maquis vineyard. This project is financed by the Ministry of Culture, Heritage and the Arts, Government of Chile.
