MANIFESTO JOYABRAVA
JOYABRAVA builds the vision of contemporary Chilean jewelry, understanding this as a means of expression, reflection and development of "sudaca" artistic critical thinking. We are crucial actors in the creation and strengthening of our cultural territory of resistance.
As a group, we have constantly worked and investigated our identity from a political perspective, questioning the limits and symbolic scope of the pieces we make, creating a tension with traditional jewelry. A core language with which brave jewelers generate a body of work that will endure over time.
Breaking down barriers, turning our subjectivity into the world, are some of the ways in which we dispute a symbolic territory. In this new perspective “our imaginary is our gold”.
JOYABRAVA proposes a revaluation of the object and its materiality as wearable art. We vindicate the gesture, we think with our hands, experimenting and projecting pieces that dialogue with our context.
Over time we have been forging a character that defines us as brave jewelers: consistent, activists, playful, visceral, risky and committed.
The time has come to be more than a landscape.
It's time for JOYABRAVA.
