SilkRoad Experiences

SilkRoad Experiences

The website welcome visitors to one of the most exciting expedition projects that this young century has to offer. It will assemble cultures in a unique way. Even though the world has become a close network, technology cannot substitute a direct dialogue, which includes all of the senses. The "Silk Road Experiences" will tell the story of these dialogues.

Due to constantly improving communication technology, patterns of behavior and consumption are spreading faster and faster around the world. Is this a reason for humans to move closer? These ideas and questions are what the "Silk Road Experiences- Roads of Dialogue" is based on.

On the one hand, the diverse project is a statement about the function of expeditions in the 21st century, where nearly every corner of the earth has been explored and documented. On the other hand, it is a symbol of the borders we have to cross. These are not of geographical origin (mountains, deserts, oceans), instead we have to overcome social and cultural borders, a hindrance that can be more strenuous than the most daunting wasteland.

The aspect that makes the "Silk Road Experiences" differ from other expeditions is the modern approach to exploring the world. During the expedition, the traveling and the intellectual curiosity of the participants have to subordinate to a higher aspiration: dialogue.
