This exhibition has lived quietly in my mind for years, like a recipe memorized but never yet cooked. I always knew it would be about dumplings. Not simply as food, but as symbol — as gesture, as memory, as a small and universal act of care.
This year, the Earring Show will feature over 120 pairs of earrings – each imbued with meaning. In this post, we take a look at some of the themes we saw in the submissions this year.
The earring show is an original event by the Craft Council of BC, an exhibition, a fundraiser, and a connector’s space. It highlights the dynamic relationship between craft and culture, and serves as a space for collectors, artists, and earring appreciators to connect.
