“Reconstructing Our Second Skin: Gender in Contemporary Jewelry”

New blog by Olivia Shih, 2016 SNAG/crafthaus Conference Scholarship Recipient

“In this crafthaus blog, I will explore the intersection between gender and jewelry with a three-prong approach: interviewing artists who do not shy away from words like “gender issues,” “feminism,” and “sex”; analyzing the work of said artists and the reach of their work via questionnaires; and reinvigorating conversation about gender in jewelry by putting together an online exhibition.”
