Starting in Venice, his routehis route took him all the way to the mysterious empire of Kublai Khan in eastern China. His adventure, later chronicled in Il Milione, cemented his legacy as one of the most famous travelers, bridging East and West at a time when much of the world remained unknown. Even today, Marco Polo inspires adventurers like Alberto and Dino, two spirited Venetians who, despite geopolitical tensions, cycled along his historic route — the legendary Silk Road — and documented their journey in a video travelogue. Quanzhou is the most important hub of the maritime Silk Road. Once a bustling metropolis during Marco Polo’s time, it’s now considered a 'small' Chinese city, despite having a population of just over one million. Join us as we explore Marco Polo's enduring significance, 750 years after his epic journey, and the new borders we strive to overcome! #dwculture #marcopolo #china #italy #venice #travel #travelvlog2024 #history Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:52 Marco Polo and Venice 04:41 The Silk Road 09:33 Marco Polo's China 18:12 The Marco Polo Exhibition in Beijing 23:58 The Marco Polo Cup 25:10 Outro For more visit: https://www.dw.com/en/culture/s-1441 Please follow DW's netiquette: https://p.dw.com/p/MF1G </video> <video> Prisons: Why can’t we break free? | Don't Drink the Milk – Podcast Description: Lock 'em up and throw away the key.

In episode one, “Joburg,” we see how artists are exploring contemporary African identity, but also South Africa's painful history. Contemporary art from Africa is having a big moment. Hype for African art is building at international art fairs, biennials, and western museums and galleries. At the same time, exciting local art centers are popping up across the continent. The new six-part series Art.See.Africa, presented by art insiders, takes viewers on a journey to six contemporary hot spots producing art in sub-Saharan Africa. The result provides a look into the breathtaking creativity of African artists who are exploring contemporary African identity. Our first stop: Johannesburg. Once a gold mining city, it’s now known for its vibrant art scene. We’ll visit the creative district of Maboneng and the renowned Wits Art Museum with a local artist named Lady Skollie. We’ll also meet Dbongz, a street artist who celebrates the strength of African women with his large-format murals. And we’ll accompany photographer Jabulani Dhlamini during one of his workshops with young talents, while learning about how the legacy of apartheid continues to influence many artists today, including painter Blessing Ngobeni. Sculptor Nandipha Mnatmbo and multimedia artist Tshepiso Moropa share insights with us about how their sculptures and photo collages are influenced by myths and animals. A trip through Johannesburg's energetic art scene, and how it continues to tackle the dark chapters of South African history.
