An international group exhibition at MUDE, organised with PIN as the core show of the 3rd Lisbon Jewellery Biennial, in which artists and designers summon complex ecological systems, artificial intelligence, digital networks and indigenous epistemologies to ask how design can help us coexist with multiple forms of life.
Synopsis For the third consecutive year, MUDE organises, in partnership with PIN, the core exhibition of the Lisbon Jewellery Biennial, integrating it into its annual programme. "Coexistências, Jewellery and the Beauty of the World" is an international group exhibition that echoes the consistent work carried out at the Museum over the years on sustainability, the correlation between ethics and aesthetics, and the interconnections between design and the sciences. This initiative reflects how MUDE has valued contemporary jewellery as an expression of design that acts as an operational and speculative territory of excellence. The theme of this 3rd edition and core exhibition raises ecological questions that challenge 21st-century design: how can we coexist in a fairer, more empathetic and interconnected way? What does it mean to design the future from alliances between cultures, species and technologies? What role can the symbolic and sensitive thinking of jewellery play in this process of collective relearning? How can beauty help us read the world? The proposed answers to these questions emerge through works by artists and designers who summon complex ecological systems, artificial intelligence, digital networks and indigenous epistemologies to portray a world in profound transformation. Starting from jewellery as a sensitive and symbolic language, the works propose radical ways of living and thinking, in coexistence with multiple forms of life, human and non-human. Each piece is an invitation to active listening and to a relationship with the other worlds that surround us: mineral, microbial, fungal, vegetal, animal, spiritual and digital.
