Inspired by artist Monica Rani Rudhar’s Indian and Romanian heritage, this Makers Space celebrates the rich cultural significance of jewellery and its role in expressing and navigating complex heritage and identity.
This interactive installation reimagines Monica’s acclaimed ceramic practice, exchanging fragile gallery pieces for soft tactile forms that invite engagement and play. At the heart of the space are oversized jewellery-inspired sculptures, drawn from the artist’s personal collection, earrings, rings, bangles, balls, bells, and chains, all transformed into soft, larger-than-life forms. These sculptures create a sense of joy and curiosity, encouraging visitors to move, rearrange, sit, and reflect, making each encounter a unique and ever-evolving experience
Head to the Makers Space to explore these soft sculptures while diving into Monica’s creative process with hands-on making activities for the whole family to enjoy.
