Oil & Mutton: The Uyghur People through Photography
Learn about the Uyghurs, a Central Asian people living in China's northwestern province of Xinjiang.
When:
April 28, 2008 12:00am
Monday, April 28, 2008
6:30 PM
Xinjiang is strategically important, harboring much of China’s remaining oil reserves and providing Beijing with a link to Central Asia and the ancient Silk Road. The people of Xinjiang, however, are Muslims who have long desired to establish an independent East Turkestan. As China forcibly develops its hinterlands, the Uyghur way of life is disappearing into modern Chinese cities. With pictures taken in 2007, this photography show seeks to document and highlight the culture of a people frequently overlooked by Western China watchers.
Please register for this event by Thursday, April 24, 2008 via email to Anne Letterman or call 203-432-3428.
