Aotearoa Jewellery Triennial
The Aotearoa Jewellery Triennial (AJT) is a platform for jewellery exhibitions, curatorial projects, and sector engagement. Facilitated by M101, AJT collaborates with museums, galleries, and collectors to present exhibitions that highlight significant jewellery works, historical collections, and curatorial discourse.
M101 actively seeks curators to shape each edition of the Triennial, ensuring a strong curatorial vision that expands jewellery’s visibility and critical recognition within institutional frameworks.
