Presenting work by nine contemporary ceramicists, <i>Another Silk Road</i> engages the metaphor of the Silk Road - an ancient network of trade routes connecting Asia, the Mediterranean world and Europe - to consider the role and impact of cultural exchange. Each artist has a connection to China and their practice reflects the experience of working across cultures, consequently questioning what it means to be “Chinese”.
