The purpose of Take Me To The River is to create a bridge across borders through art as a river crosses borders and unites people, communities, and countries along its path by reflecting both the diversities and similarities among people of different countries. In doing so, TMTTR is exploring the development of interactive, transnational cultures with the work addressing political, environmental, cross-cultural and individual content. Water is the TMTTR Groupâs unifying element and a global concern. We work with an open mind and dialogue while observing both a unified and divided world. Countries represented in TMTTR, to date, include: Brazil, Cuba, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa, and the United States. For the Istanbul exhibit, TMTTR will include artists from Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Syria, Iran and other neighboring countries. The Take Me To The River: Turkey, planned by the TMTTR Group is specially designed for concerns related to the World Water Forumâs theme âBridging Divides For Waterâ. The TMTTR Project artists are committed to addressing issues in working creatively with communities with a focus on the linkage between water and culture. Climate change and the destruction of natural ecosystems are crying for solutions to manage and protect water resources in a more serious and systematic way. This involves issues of education, knowledge sharing, capacity building, global networks, and the important role of women in finding innovative solutions to address the problems of the 21st century. WWW.TAKEMETOTHERIVER.ORG WWW.TMTTR.ORG www.worldwaterforum5.org We are now looking for visual artists who are interested in the project and to participate in the exhibition âTake Me To The Riverâ in Istanbul.
