GILLOURY INSTITUTE

MISSION: Silk Road Rising advances citizenship and cultural understanding with theatre based work created through Asian American and Middle Eastern American lenses. VISION: Silk Road Rising recognizes that different cultures are inherently linked. We seek to illuminate the intersections of cultures without denying their specificity. We strive to foster a world that values art over ideology and inquiry over dogma. We provide a space for diverse voices to express their own distinct stories and, through this shared experience, facilitate much-needed cross-cultural dialogue and awareness.
