The third edition of the Lisbon Jewellery Biennial's core exhibition at MUDE: an international group show where artists and designers use jewellery as a symbolic language to reflect on sustainability, ecology and coexistence between cultures, species and technologies.

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. "Coexistences, 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, considering it 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 more interconnected way? What does it mean to design the future through 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 mutation. Taking 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.
