NYCJW24

In light of current world events, artists experiencing censorship, transphobic and homophobic legislation, and the climate crisis, [queerphoria] returned to NYC Jewelry Week 2024 at Urban Glass. to create a space where artists are free to express themselves through the art of jewelry making and craft.

[queerphoria] volume 4: connection is an in-person and virtual exhibition showcasing international 2SLGBTQIA+ artists exploring themes of connection in adornment and sculpture. Curated by Queer Metalsmiths’ co-founders and co-curators SULO BEE, Tracey Carswell, and Rebecca Lee.

[queerphoria] volume 4 builds on the previous three volumes, and is an immersive in-person and virtual exhibition exploring the concept of connection in its broadest form. Artists engaged in discussions that explore their diverse interpretations of this theme; encompassing connection to culture, land, identity, politics, surroundings, nature, family, etc.
