For their fourth annual lecture, the Gandhara Connections project, which we are proud to support, goes online with the former diplomat, politician, writer, walker, and polymath, Rory Stewart OBE. Among his many interests, the history and heritage of the ‘Gandharan’ regions, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, have been an abiding concern, notably in his writing (his bestselling The Places in Between) and his work through the Turquoise Mountain Foundation.
Free registrations to the ‘Walking in Afghanistan’ lecture by Rory Stuart are open through Crowdcast.
The Gandhara Connections project is an initiative by the Classical Art Research Centre at the University of Oxford to pool knowledge and stimulate new insights into Gandharan art and its links to Greece and Rome, thousands of kilometres to the west.
