The Along the Silk Road exhibition was designed to help people experience the cultures of Central Asia in an interactive way. The exhibition features 6 installations composed of more than 80 large format photographs, 36 hanging and standing banners, Central Asian clothing, musical instruments and two authentic yurts—the traditional homes of nomadic peoples like the Uighur and Kyrgyz. The climax of the exhibition is a walk along the Silk Road featuring prayers of blessing for the peoples who call the region home. The exhibit was first installed at Eastside Baptist Church in Marietta, GA in November 2008, and has been traveling around the country ever since.
