Join National Geographic photographer and Sony Ambassador, Michael Yamashita as he follows in the footsteps of Marco Polo, the greatest Western explorer of all time. Relive his 13th Century odyssey along the Silk Road, from Italy through Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, all the way to China, and his epic voyage back across the South China Sea with stops in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India. Marco Polo gave the west a vibrant window into Asian culture, art, religion and landscapes, accurately describing the people and places he encountered. 700 years later, we celebrate the man who inspired a bold new age of exploration and discovery.
The Kauffman Center has curated this speaker specifically from the Changemaker Speaker Series.
