In London, the Silk Road, a new outdoor exhibition, attempts to capture images of trade, of peoples, and of empires long fallen through a series of stunning photographs taken by photographer Christopher Wilton-Steer during 2019, who travelled along the historic trade route that was once known as the Silk Road. The exhibition is presented by the Aga Khan Foundation and refers to an ancient trade route connecting the Western world with the Middle East and Asia. The free exhibition runs until 16 June.

The Qutb Shahi Tombs, the 16th Century necropolis and one of Hyderabad’s most known heritage tourism sites, is set for a new chapter. The combined efforts of the Aga Khan Foundation, Heritage Telangana and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) will soon see the 106-acre premises donning the mantle of a one-of-its kind heritage park. According to Ratish Nanda, CEO of AKTC India, almost 60 percent of the works have been completed so far. "In 2021, conservation works are being undertaken on over a dozen monuments including five baolis. These works will be completed by 2024," he said.
