ArtSpeaks: The Intersection of Art & Jewelry
Tiffany Dubin, a specialist in artist jewelry, explores the transformative era of jewelry design post-World War II. Dubin will guide the audience through the evolution of the artist jewelry movement, highlighting how it challenged and expanded the conventional boundaries of how jewelry is both perceived and worn. This movement not only changed the craft, but also altered our very interaction with jewelry, transforming it from a mere symbol of status into a profound medium for unique artistic statements. Discover how this bold reimagining continues to influence our aesthetic and cultural landscape today.

Music / Victoria Cardona
South Florida native Victoria Cardona is a guitarist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist one-woman jam band. Her loop performances are a sonic and visual experience that takes the audience on a ride through the mind of an improvisationalist. Victoria’s Cuban roots and obsession with multicultural music genres inspire the strong Afro-Cuban rhythmic undertone she delivers, in conjunction with a harmonic counterpart that fuses elements of jazz, blues, soul, reggae, Afro-Caribbean, rock ’n’ roll, and folk.
