On The Green Track

1)First episode out of two parts!

*About the episodeHave you ever watched a movie, read a book, heard a story or a song about a certain place in the world that you felt like you just had to visit?

Art can move us, literally, and this is partly what this first episode out of two is about.   

Together with professor in art historian Geoff Lehman, we will explore on this path of our journey, what our internal life and dreams make us think and meet the travel destinations we go to.

In order to get there, we will look at Wang Ximeng (late 11th to early 12th c.), hand scroll “One Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains (千里江山圖) ” to open up for this conversation about how perspectives can impact our relation to the non-urbanised nature and our why of being a tourist.

This take us on a wide journey exploring museums and art galleries as travel destinations, the influence of our dreams when meeting a new culture and the balance between our expectations and what actually happens when we travel.
