It will open SCHMUCKmuenchen 2026 at the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, on Friday 6 March.

Bringing together 20 artists and more than 40 wearable works by active Handshake alumni, the project unites practitioners through a shared history with the Handshake programme and a commitment to artist‑led practice, peer exchange, and international dialogue.
To mark its 100th anniversary, the Pinakothek has invited leading jewellery institutions to present alumni- and student-led interventions—celebrating global educational excellence and the future of contemporary jewellery. Internationally recognised as a pioneering alumni-driven programme, Handshake contributes a performative response that foregrounds collaboration, sharing, mobility, and poetic encounter.
