Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
An exhibition of contemporary jewellery, curated by Anna Davern for Radiant Pavilion 2026.
Emerging from the deliberately hopeful question: can jewellery save the world? It offers a way to consider small, intimate objects as sites of meaning, what they might offer in times marked by uncertainty and collective unease, and how our relationships with such objects shape how we relate to one another and the world around us.
Contemporary jewellery offers a powerful site for engaging with these ideas. Artists include Kate Alterio, Juan Castro, Joungmee Do, Sarah Heyward, Katheryn Leopoldseder, Natalia Milosz-Piekarska, Romy Mittelman, Sean O’Connell, Jane Reilly, Gabbee Stolp and Aurelia Yeomans.
The exhibition title references Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things, signalling an interest in intimacy, scale, and the significance of the overlooked, rather than religious belief.
Radiant Pavilion presents contemporary jewellery and object practice across Naarm/Melbourne.
