Non-Stick Nostalgia: Y2K Retrofuturism in Contemporary Jewelry is one of the first major jewelry exhibitions to focus on the interconnected, media-saturated, cybernetic work of millennial jewelers. A rare opportunity to hear from the international artists and designers featured in the exhibition, Jewelry of Tomorrow will explore aesthetics, practices, and self-representation in the digital age.
