¿DYB? aims to popularize the culture and tradition of glass beads produced in Venice and Murano, increasingly threatened by the marketing of products with no artistic and historical value Glass beads are in fact part of the fundamental huge artistic heritage that the city of Venice has produced over the centuries. In an age of fakes and degradation of genuine products, what is common to all designers and companies involved in ¿DYB? is a great passion for these little wonders that are traditional Venetian beads.

¿DYB? presents, through fashion show, exhibition and performance, bijoux created by designers, craftsmen and artists, both Italian and International, who work with beads and sculptures exclusively made in Venice and Murano. It puts together and joins designers, craftsmen and artists with private buyers and companies. Relates designers, craftsmen and artists creating collaboration and exchange of information. Promotes culture and tradition of glass beads produced in Venice and Murano. Researches for new forms of design to be applied both to beads and to glass jewels. It offers the understanding and study of trade beads (the glass beads made in Venice and Murano from the end of the fifteenth century and used as currency in Africa, United States of North America Latin America and Middle and Far East) through meetings and conferences.

¿Do You Bead? Venezia Art Jewelry Showcase is an expression that puts together in a 'Spanglish' way (the question mark at the beginning and end of a sentence is characteristic of the Spanish language), the Spanish language with the Italian and Anglo-American language, and implies the possibility of interaction between different cultures.

Born in 2009, the event-exhibition will come to the third edition and will propose some art-fashion appointments that will be presented on Monday 21. Given that the segment of the bijouterie is still growing and has also acquired a part of the traditional jewelry market, ¿DYB? aims to emphasize the field of glass that deals with the production of beads, enhancing the purchase of the domestic product, limiting imports of foreign glass beads of very low quality, and creating new businesses, new jobs and a redesign of part of the venetian shops
