The Sogdians: Influencers on the Silk Roads
A digital exhibition, Organized by Judith A. Lerner (ISAW)
and Thomas Wide (Freer|Sackler)
Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU
This "born-digital" event celebrates the going "live" of the first exhibition, digital or otherwise, devoted to the Sogdians, a Central Asian Iranian people who served as "middlemen" in the circulation of people and commodities as well as religious and artistic ideas, along the Silk Roads, during the 5th to 8th centuries CE. The exhibition combines the latest academic research with a variety of digital media: from interactive maps to 3D photogrammetry, drone footage of archaeological sites, to video interviews with leading scholars. It is a case study of how the digital humanities can bring scholarship on the ancient world to new audiences.
This collaborative project has been organized by the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. It is made possible through the generosity of the Leon Levy Foundation, with additional support from the Thaw Charitable Trust and the Smithsonian Provost Scholarly Studies Award program. It has involved curators, scholars, digital designers, and graduate students affiliated with NYU's Center for Experimental Humanities, ISAW, and Bard Graduate Center, along with partner institutions in Russia, France, Uzbekistan and Japan and an international group of scholars.
