Czech Jewelry Designers Meet NYC

[2nd Floor]

An opening of the exhibition of jewerly created specifically for the CCNY Gallery. The connecting motto of the exhibition is “Communication”. Whether it’s a conversation between partners, a personal interaction with the outside world or a contact between the Czech and American cultural scene, communication is a basic human need and desire. In addition, the jewelry is an interesting and prolific means of passing information. It can present the mood and taste of a wearer, often also reflecting social status and cultural knowledge. The expression of jewelry as a universal language was perfectly mastered by former US Foreign Minister Madeleine Albright, the owner of an extensive collection of brooches, which allowed her during her official and unofficial appearances to express her ideas without words. It is no coincidence that in Madam Secretary’s collection one can also find a brooch by presented designer, Klára Šípková.

Free and open to the public. For more information and to reserve your free ticket, please visit www.czechcenter.com.
