In the heart of Central Asia, China's western neighbor, lies Uzbekistan – a vibrant yet completely under-discovered region in the heart of the Silk Road. It attracts avid adventurers with its mesmerizing mix of geography, history and culture. The ancient crossroads of Persian and Greek civilizations, a major center of medieval Islamic Renaissance, a Soviet-day Babylon, and true ethnic melting pot: Uzbekistan enchants us with its colorful kaleidoscope of people and places.


This Friday, come and discover the timeless charm of Uzbekistan through Journey Along The Silk Road - People and Places in Uzbekistan, a joint photography exhibition by Victoria Kim and Victor An. Learn about different Uzbek national costumes and​ ​appreciate the delicate hand-crafted ​embroidery​ and​ intricately patterned ceramics​... I​llustrat​​ed installation​ ​Did You Know? ​by al-fergani ​will​ playfully guide you through many amusing secrets of the vibrant Uzbek culture... and if you learn well, await to be rewarded!
Come and listen to the stories from the Silk Road, meet the artists and like-minded adventurers, and enjoy your cup of hot tea brewed in the best tradition of the Uzbek hospitality.


This event is part of the HELLO, WORLD series by World Culture Open, a global network of creatives dedicated to facilitating open platforms for dynamic cultural exchange and creative collaboration in pursuit of global harmony.
