Aotearoa Jewellery Triennial
AJT is an initiative of M101 that seeks out opportunities for New Zealand curators and artists aimed at unique and high-quality outputs with a significant impact. The Triennial is based on the former concept of the Dowse Jewellery Biennial, where the contracted curator selects NZ works and commissions NZ artists to realise their curatorial vision. AJT is in partnership with museums and galleries that present the triennial exhibition.
