The Art Bystander is Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar’s “unconventional” podcast, which tells the story of art through the eyes of those who observe it, turning viewers into active participants in the narrative. A melting pot of fashion, architecture, music, design, and yes, even jewelry.The protagonist of the latest episode is Francesca Grima, creative director of the historic Grima brand, and custodian of one of the most influential legacies in jewelry design. Francesca reflects on what it means to inherit such an important creative language and to evolve it without losing its essence. From Andrew, her father, to Francesca, Grima today is a living, evolving laboratory where art becomes jewelry and jewelry becomes wearable art.
