SILK ROAD MEMORIES

Precious goods, religions, science, and art traveled between East and West along the Silk Road for more than 1,500 years. Located today in China’s Xinjiang region, the oasis cities of Kashgar, Turfan, and Khotan—home of the Uighur people—were key centers on this trade network. Although he lives in Kazakhstan, Hashim Kurban’s art reflects his proud Uighur ancestry, and preserves a rapidly changing cultural landscape. We invite you to explore this unique land of Muslim dervishes and Buddhist princesses.
