World Rivers is a long-term global project uniting people through the important element of water. Individuals from around the world dip white fabric in a local river. The fabric pieces are embroidered with the name of the river, location and date and then sewn together into a magnificent curtain. International participants, like rivers flowing to the ocean, join together to form a larger whole.  World Rivers originating idea World Rivers reveals a story of water, through the personal experience of many and makes mention of how similar we all are and yet how unique. World Rivers reveals civilization's connection to water while documenting our time in history. Visit the river's map and list to see the progress and learn of rivers being sought. Someday, I hope reach hundreds of rivers and finish the curtain.  World Rivers Curtain in progress 1. EMAIL your location and the name of your river so that I can include you on the list. 2.
