a pop- up exhibition by Heather Skowood presented at
Manchester Jewellery Week, 10th-16th September 2026
The exhibition brings together contemporary jewellery, street art + busking to encourage discussion about
the environmental impact of our throw away culture, Street Art vs Art in galleries/museums, Art as protest
+ the cost of living crisis. The jewellery combines urban debris collected from the streets of Manchester +
industrial mesh to create jewellery that inspires viewers/wearers of their own creativity,
the value of self-expression, and our civic responsibilities. Peace.
