Beijing biennale to show artworks on Silk Road

The Beijing International Art Biennale will return to the National Art Museum of China in September 2017, with the seventh exhibition themed "Silk Road and the world's civilizations".

The organizing committee that comprises the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Beijing municipal government and the China Artists Association is inviting artists from home and abroad to submit work to discuss the spirit of the Silk Road in a different world order today.

In ancient times, the road was a network of overland and sea routes used for trade and cultural exchanges between China and other countries.
