This exhibition focuses on the belt buckle as a shared typology across cultures and histories—functional, relational, and deeply embedded in daily life.  It brings together jewelers based in the United States, many connected to Cranbrook Academy of Art, and students from Taller Eloi in Buenos Aires, a school with a long-standing collaboration with Cranbrook.  The works explore function, identity, and connection, reminding us that even modest objects can hold things—and people—together.
