Europe brings the timeless allure of radiant crystal glassware and the sophistication of world-class leatherwork. The Americas will captivate you with the vivid colors of traditional basketry and the mystical art of jade carving. Journeying to Africa, we explore a world of spiritual wooden masks and shimmering beadwork that tell profound cultural stories. And from the far reaches of Oceania, powerful indigenous sculptures and unique bark cloth techniques will open a door to a wondrous new world.

In particular, our host, Vietnam, is proud to introduce 1,000 "Golden Hands" artisans, bringing the thousand-year breath of heritage through Bat Trang ceramics, Van Phuc silk, magnificent Ha Thai lacquerware, and meaningful Dong Ho folk paintings.
