Event Description |
This exhibition presents over 100 spoons from across the globe (including Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas), exploring traditions of home, family, community, and culture that are associated with their use. Crafted from a variety of materials such as gourds, shells, animal horns, clay, wood, metals, and plastics, spoons are utilitarian objects that are also works of art, design, and craft. Each object is a reflection of a specific cultural context–from intimate traditions of home and family to community and celebratory preparations of food and drink, and the spiritual gestures of giving thanks for sustenance.
