The open call invites contemporary jewelry designers from Slovenia, Europe, and beyond to participate in the main exhibition of SIJW 2025, which will take place at Center Rog in Ljubljana. A professional jury will select the best designers, who will have the opportunity to showcase their work, and the most outstanding will receive awards for exceptional achievements in design.
The theme of this year's exhibition, "Energy," delves into the dynamics of creativity and transformation. Designers will explore how energy transcends physical resources, impacting the psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions that shape our world. Their works will reflect energy transitions—moments when the new replaces the old—catalyzing significant shifts across sectors such as transportation, architecture, agriculture, industry, politics, and culture. These transformative moments, which have inspired artists for centuries, continue to serve as a powerful source of creativity for contemporary designers. Through bold, innovative approaches, they will explore how energy and raw materials can be transformed into unique artistic expressions that encapsulate the spirit of the age and the profound changes happening in society.
The main curated exhibition of SIJW 2025, "Energy", will be held from April 10 to April 19, 2025, at the creative Center Rog in Ljubljana. Center Rog is dedicated to the cultural and creative sector, focusing on craftsmanship, applied arts, and design.
