Jewellery exhibition “Radical Softness“

You are invited to the opening of jeweelery exhibition “Radical Softness” on All Souls' Day 2 November at 12:00.
The Estonian contemporary jewellery exhibition "Radical Softness" debuted in 2024 in Lisbon, at the greja da Madalena church. It now arrives at Niguliste Museum, as the first exhibition to be held on the highest floor of the tower. Sixteen jewellery artists contemplate being through material, inviting us to pause and seek answers-and the resilience to remain ourselves-from within rather than from the external world.

“Radical Softness” is scheduled to run in parallel with the exhibition “The Dark Sky of Imagination: Jewellery Art of Kadri Mälk” at the Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design, open from 7 November 2025 to 5 April 2026. All artists participating in "Radical Softness" have found their voice with the help of Professor Kadri Mälk (1958-2023), the long-time head of the jewellery and blacksmithing department at the Estonian Academy of Arts.

Artists: Darja Popolitova, Erinn Michelle Cox, Erle Nemvalts, Eve Margus, Hanna-Maria Vanaküla, Hansel Tai, Ketli Tiitsar, Kristiina Laurits, Maarja Niinemägi, Maria Valdma Härm, Marita Lumi, Nils Hint, Piret Hirv, Taavi Teevet, Tanel Veenre, Villu Plink.

The exhibition at Niguliste Museum will remain open until February 1st 2026.
