Silk Road through Kansas: 2018-2019 Special Year-long Program Series
The term “Silk Road” traditionally refers to a dynamic network of trade routes between Asia and Europe that flourished from approximately 120 BCE to the mid-fifteenth century. Goods, inventions, religions and philosophies, and more traveled its length. Art was among the most important cultural content exchanged. This series will highlight the many ways the exchange continues today, even though the vehicles transporting ideas and aesthetics have changed. Speakers and performances during this 2018-2019 season explore the way cultures inspire and influence one another. Area institutions are participating in Silk Road through Kansas with exhibitions on artistic exchanges between Asia and the West. Go to beach.k-state.edu for the most updated schedule of events.
In partnership with Asian American Student Union.
Major support for the “Silk Road through Kansas” programs held on the K-State campus is provided by the Kansas State University Confucius Institute.
