主题诠释
▶▶▶活动主题：丝路驼声
骆驼，作为丝绸之路的交通符号和运输标志，不仅仅是运输工具，更象征着任劳任怨、坚韧不拔、久久为功的精神，为丝绸之路的繁荣和经济发展作出重大的贡献。
民勤驼队在丝绸之路有“大帮驼铃走天下”之美誉，民勤驼道四通八达，东至京津，北至库伦、莫斯科，西至西藏、新疆伊犁、西亚，南至河南等地。关于民勤驼队的故事流传在武威、张掖、酒泉等河西地区，新疆的哈密、昌吉地区，内蒙古的阿拉善、河套地区，以及青海、宁夏一带。马家驼队、皇驼、骆驼神卦女、大侠任毛头、民勤驼镖等传说记载和反映了民勤驼队在丝绸之路走南闯北的艰辛历程，记录了他们为国家稳定、民族团结、抗日战争和文化交流作出的重要贡献，也对于研究丝绸之路、东西经济文化交流、南北民族融合以及民族、民俗学有着重要的价值。
遥望历史长河，耳畔驼铃阵阵，大漠孤烟中驼队迤逦而出。“塞沙茫茫出关道，骆驼夜吼黄云老。”“无数铃声摇过碛,应驮白练到安西。”“毡包席裹可立致，十鼓只载数骆驼。”唐诗宋词中的骆驼的诗性意象影影绰绰。抚今追昔，继往开来，中国•民勤第四届沙漠雕塑国际创作营在延续前三届沙漠艺术活动的基础上，以“丝路驼声”为主题，以骆驼及驼队精神相关的元素为基础意象，征集国内外优秀公共艺术作品，从而续写与讴歌坚韧、开拓、担当的丝路精神，展现新时代创新发展的丝路理念。
