CULTURE FIX: SARAH K. CHENAULT ON CREOLE JEWELRY OF AXÉ BAHIA
FOWLER | Noon, Fowler Museum
Several examples of joias de crioula or creole jewelry are featured in the exhibition Axé Bahia: The Power of Art in an Afro-Brazilian Metropolis. Since the 18th century, these chains of gold and charms of silver have adorned African-descendant women—freed and enslaved—in Salvador, Bahia, where they serve as expressions of social and religious freedom in an otherwise colonized existence. Learn more about these special pieces in a gallery talk by Curatorial and Research Assistant Sarah K. Chenault.
