Wearable Memories: Stones of the Grassland

Opening and preview event: Thursday 26 September, 4-6pm (open to all, no booking required)

This exhibition is part of Zihan's ongoing practice-based doctoral project, 'Wearable Memories: Contemporary Jewellery Practice Based on the Study of Nomadic Culture in Northern China'.

In this project, personal emotion and collective memory are explored through jewellery making as well as theoretical investigation, with a focus on the vanishing nomadic culture of her hometown, Inner Mongolia, Northern China.
