Silkroad Announces Ben Hartley as Executive Director!
Silkroad’s newest initiative, American Railroad , illuminates the impact that the African American, Chinese, Indigenous, Irish, and other immigrant communities had on the creation of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad and connecting railways in North America. Exploring the dissemination of cultures across the United States, the railroad was to North America what the Silk Road was to China, the Far East, and Europe.
Silkroad uses the arts to ignite passions, inspire change, and foster education through performances, tours, workshops, and residency programs in middle schools, universities, carceral communities, and refugee communities.
