JuJu Magic

Lecture: Wednesday, January 27 at 4:00 PM
Reception: Wednesday, January 27 at 5:00 PM
A jewelry art show featuring sixteen artists with magic in mind.
Juju is a word of West African origin that refers to the supernatural power ascribed to an object; or fetish. The object that contains the juju can then be used to cure ailments (good juju) or even exact revenge (bad juju). The artists of JuJu Magic have created their own interpretations of this theme: from mnemonic devices for prayer and mementos of home to amulets for protection and charmed objects.
