The group exhibition Alegría presents works by students of Visual Arts and Design at the Faculty of Education, University of Primorska. The exhibition explores joy as a universal creative force that transcends personal and cultural boundaries.
Through modern jewelry, students explore how design can become more than just an aesthetic expression – as a carrier for positive energy, personal stories and emotions. By exploring innovative shapes and materials, they test the boundaries of traditional jewelry and raise questions:
How can jewelry express joy and life energy?
What impact do materials, shapes and colours have on the perception of joy?
How does jewellery reflect personal feelings and memories?
Students of the Visual Arts and Design programme at UP PEF under the mentorship of Dr. TINA COTIČ and professional assistance of contemporary jewellery designer SANDRA KOCJANČIČ
