Black Ball – a project of our association of friends, ISSP 

During ORNAMENTA 2024, Pforzheim's Jewellery Museum will be part of the Inhalatorium Ornamenta community. Together with the artist Yvonne Dröge Wendel, who was won over for the idea by the curatorial team, the Jewellery Museum's association of friends have implemented the joint Black Ball project. From early July to late September 2024, this giant black felt ball will bei rolling through public space – but first it needed to be crafted. This was an interactive process in which many were able to participate.
