'The Ancient Silk Road' Photographic Lecture

On Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m., Barry Pell will present a photographic lecture exploring the historic cities of the Silk Road including Samarqand, Bukhara and Kashgar—places that flourished for more than 1,000 years along the trading routes that connected across 5,000 miles between central China and Istanbul at the doorstep of Europe. The presentation will focus on the legacies of the Silk Road trade on these places, including architecture, religion, language, ceremonies and food.
