In this ambitions and wildly creative installation, 101 bowls from local, regional, national and internationally based artists and organizations come together in the American Swedish Institute’s Osher Gallery. Each bowl represents its maker's commitment to a deeper understanding of the form and use of bowls. Each bowl has a story and an explanation of its significance to the makers and the world of handcraft. Full of personal meaning, they are symbols of tradition and innovation, loss and celebration, nature and human influence.

There are four sections exploring ASI's enduring links to the Nordic region, leadership in the arts and cultural community, stewardship of heritage and promotion of craftsmanship. The installation showcases ASI's connection with the networks that foster and propagate handmade diversity.
