Matriclysm: An Archaeology of Connections Lost

At Salone Verde in Venice, the American singer-songwriter Jewel presents her largest visual art exhibition to date, unfolding as an immersive environment that bridges sculpture, painting, textile, sound, and data-driven installation. Curated by Joe Thompson and organized with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the project expands her multidisciplinary practice into a spatial, sensorial experience.

Structured around three central works, First Mother, Heart of the Ocean, and The Seven Sisters, the exhibition assembles a fragmented archaeology of feminine memory. These anchors are surrounded by objects and environments that trace the erosion of matriarchal knowledge systems, exploring themes of motherhood, care, and the disconnection between body, land, and lineage.
