1988-1993: Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue
For more than two thousand years, the Silk Roads linked East and West, thus paving the way for an exchange of philosophies, religions, art and knowledge that has helped shape the world we live in today. In 1988, UNESCO launched a five-year major project on an integral study of the Silk Roads as “roads of dialogue.” UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Ikuo Hirayama created this poster. A painter and active campaigner on behalf of cultural heritage, he has awarded over 100 fellowships in a programme he specially created for the Silk Roads project.
