Place Based Jewellery Making
How can jewellery both activate and communicate relationships with place and associated themes of identity, home and belonging?

This forum investigates how the processes involved in producing contemporary jewellery can both activate and communicate relationships with place and associated themes of identity, home and belongingness in the context of living and working on unceded Aboriginal Country. Introducing four speakers of different cultural backgrounds – each employs jewellery to reveal the intricacies of developing relationships with place, embody personal histories, and reveal diasporic cultures to collectively explore multiple connections with place in Australia.
