ABOUT THE PEACE CARAVAN PROJECT:

The Peace Caravan Project follows photographer and artist Marla Mossman as she travels solo along the ancient Silk Road from Israel to China by car, foot, horse, mule and camel documenting places of historical and religious significance. The Silk Road is a series of intersecting caravan trails originating in Xi’an, China traversed Central Asia, crossed the lowlands of Mesopotamia to Jerusalem and the Mediterranean, and ultimately to Rome.

Along these paths, merchants laden with silk from China, spices from India and furs from Kazakhstan exchanged goods and ideas. The Silk Road’s significance to religion is not just a commercial “conduit along which religions hitched rides”.  

The Peace Caravan Project aims to nourish the principles of international co-operation, exchange cultural values, share understanding of the environment, and foster the equality of all peoples including women and children.
