The Georgetown-IDP Lecture Series: Following the Silk Roads to North America was organised to celebrate the upcoming completion of the Georgetown-IDP Project, which has worked to incorporate images of Silk Road items in North American collections into the International Dunhuang Project’s public database, based at the British Library, and to expand the IDP’s partnership with North American institutions. Generously supported by the Henry Luce Foundation and the Dunhuang Foundation, the project began in 2016, and since then has brought together more than 30 North American institutions and over 1,300 objects. The lecture series is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation.
Co-organized by Georgetown Art and Art History faculty member Michelle C. Wang, five lectures are scheduled on consecutive Wednesdays beginning July 28 and will be held over Zoom.
