In Conversation with Susan Whitfield and Peter Sellars – Silk, Slaves and Stupas: Culture in Motion on the Silk Road

Date
May 20, 2018
Time
2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

In her book Silk, Slaves and Stupas: Material Culture of the Silk Road, author Susan Whitfield tells the stories of ten very different objects—a delicate pair of earrings, a hoard of Kushan coins, a Hellenistic glass bowl, among others—found along the ancient trading routes of Afro-Eurasia. In this afternoon program, Whitfield will be joined by renowned theater director Peter Sellars for a fascinating conversation about what these objects tell us about the diversity of peoples and cultures that traveled the Silk Road.
