Camel caravans crossing desert dunes, merchants trading silks at bazaars – these are the images that come to mind when we think of the Silk Roads. But the reality goes far beyond this. Rather than a single trade route from East to West, the Silk Roads were made up of overlapping networks linking communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, from Japan to Britain, and from Scandinavia to Madagascar. Highlight stories of textiles from Turkmenistan Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan underpin the importance of Central Asia to this continent-spanning story.
