The Silk Road: A Visual Journey from London to Beijing

16:00 - 17:00

National Science and Media Museum

Join travel photographer and writer Christopher Wilton-Steer for an extraordinary visual and personal account of his 40,000 km journey across Eurasia.  

In 2019, Wilton-Steer travelled overland from the UK to China,by train, bus, ferry, car, horse and camel,crossing 15 countries to explore the cultural connections that continue to echo along the ancient Silk Road. In this richly illustrated talk, he shares stories and photographs from the journey that inspired the acclaimed outdoor exhibitions in London and Toronto, now becoming a book.  

Reflecting on a world in flux, Wilton-Steer invites us to consider how much we share - and what binds us across borders.
