UZBEKISTAN, 2025

Fergana Valley and Silk Road

Our first tour to Uzbekistan explored handcrafts in the Fergana Valley., which have seen a revival since since Uzbekistan’s independence in 1991, and the classic cities of the Silk Road: Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand, and Tashkent. We were also excited to be in Bukhara for the inagural Bukhara Biennial.

How rich and wonderful our trip was! Rich in discoveries, rich in encounters, rich in laughter (oh so much!). I miss it all as much as it nourishes me and will for a long time. Thank you so much Jessica, Rei, Aki for this extraordinary journey!
