Serious Bling: Radical Jewelry Makeover – The Artist Project
February 15, 2020 – April 5, 2020
Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM) is a global recycling project that spotlights gold mining’s devastating impacts and the criticality of sustainable jewelry making practices. Its thriving offshoot, The Artists Project, provides opportunities for professional artists to engage with RJM by creating a series of work using RJM donated jewelry. Through their participation, the artists encourage honest conversations about the difficulties facing jewelers who strive for ethical studio practices that curtail damage to the environment and human health.

This coming weekend there’s a HUGE program of events called Kick, Turn, Shine in support of the Serious Bling exhibition. If you’re nearby please go check it out and say a warm “Hello!” to Susie Ganch from me 😉

It’s great to see this important initiative continue. Thanks for letting us know.
It had a bit of a slow down when Susie Ganch got really busy but she has Kathleen Kennedy working with her on the project now and they have been ramping back up again. Sarah Rachel Brown has interviewed each of them (seperate episodes) on the Perceived Value Podcast which is great listening for anyone interested in the RJM history, and future.
