Jewelry That Makes You Think.
EVENT
AJF & TJL Present Jewelry Stories Live for NYCJW
November 18, 2021, 12:30 p.m. EST
 
AJF is partnering with The Jewelry Library (TJL) for an online storytelling event—Jewelry Stories Live. For this collaboration, TJL and AJF have invited community members to share their stories based on this year’s NYCJW theme, “The Power of Jewelry.”

Jewelry has been a tool for storytelling for centuries—stories of love, loss, friendship, family, identity, connection, community, and empowerment that attest to jewelry’s enduring power. In our time, these stories help us to reflect, connect, cope with uncertainty and isolation, and even spur us to action!

Come hear an international roster of storytellers (live from their living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens) share their tales about relationships with jewelry—from the poignant to the hilarious and everything in between!

Ripple Effect: A 25-Year Survey
November 10, 2021, 3 p.m. EST
 
Join us for a studio visit and discussion with Blanche Tilden and Katie Scott, of Gallery Funaki, about Tilden’s traveling exhibition, Ripple Effect: A 25-Year Survey.
 
Tilden plays with the forms of industrial modernity in impeccable works assembled from purpose-made glass and metal components. Often these are long, sinuous chains that invoke the imagery of mass production. While they seem removed from human intervention, each part is lovingly crafted, and something of their emotionally remote perfection speaks of nostalgia for a mechanically ordered view of the universe.
