Bavaria is rarely associated with cutting-edge jewellery and body-related art, often framed through folklore and tradition. This exhibition refuses that framing.

The alpine narrative is neither attacked nor celebrated. It is rendered irrelevant. What remains is wearable art as critical practice, made in Bavaria.
