Land of the Three Rivers: A Journey from Urfa to Erbil
David undertook an expedition by bicycle to traverse the northern watersheds of three historic rivers: the Euphrates, Tigris, and Zab. He explored the spaces in between– between past and present, between storied rivers, between communities with their own unique yet interconnected stories.
This journey connected parts of his personal and professional experience in Turkey and Iraq over the past two decades, and we're thrilled to have joined him!
David shared his experiences on social media as he traveled from Urfa to Erbil. Check out our social media accounts, or click the highlights below!
