📸 An immersive visual feast has arrived in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region! The 'Luminous Journey – Kashi in Lights and Shadows' photography exhibition opened this week, showcasing 150 striking images from 17 photographers across nine countries and regions.
Through the Color Prism
Curators organized the exhibition through four chromatic themes:
• Golden Sands: Ancient Silk Road heritage
• Azure Skies: Modern urban development
• Crimson Festivals: Vibrant social traditions
• Emerald Valleys: Ecological conservation efforts
Borderless Perspectives
British photographer Emma Clarke told us: 'Kashi’s mix of Uygur culture and 21st-century energy feels like time travel through a kaleidoscope.' Works from Central Asian photographers highlight shared cultural roots across the region.
The exhibition runs through January 2026, with virtual tours available online – perfect for students and travelers planning 2026 Silk Road adventures! 🌐✨
