Silk Road Book Exhibition

Silk Road was an ancient network of routes that connected the East and West. It was central to cultural interaction between the regions for many centuries. The 2019 exhibition “Silk Road” examined a new ‘Road’ connecting these two worlds: the stories that travel through books to young readers in far off places.

The Silk Road Book Exhibition, a collaborative effort with the Maraya Art Centerin Sharjah, showcased a diverse assortment of narrative, picture, and general-knowledge books centred around China. This impressive collection featured 100 titles that served as a testament to the high standards of publishing in Europe and the United States. Among these titles were works authored by Chinese writers residing in the West, as well as contributions from non-Chinese authors who paid homage to the rich tapestry of Chinese culture.
