  • TMTTR Project History
    TMTTR PROJECTS Cairo, Egypt The first Take Me To The River exhibition took place in Cairo, Egypt, in October, 2002, at the El Hanagar and Opera House Galleries, located on Zemalek Island. The exhibition’s principal sponsor was the Egyptian Minister of Culture. Twelve TMTTR members, representing seven countries, participated in the exhibition, which featured painting, drawing, photography, video, sound and fabric art. The exhibition was extremely well-received in Cairo and enjoyed extensive television, radio and printed media coverage. Washington, DC The second Take Me To The River exhibition occurred in Washington, DC, in May, 2003, at the Millennium Art Center. This exhibition included TMTTR artists and four Egyptian artists, who created work specifically for the exhibition. After the exhibition one of the Egyptian artists was invited to become a permanent TMTTR member. The TMTTR exhibition in Washington, DC, was staged in conjunction with an exhibition of eight Egyptian artists at the World Bank which was co-curated by two TMTTR artists. Pretoria, South Africa In May, 2005, TMTTR traveled to Pretoria, South Africa, where an exhibition was held at the Pretoria Art Museum, and, for the first time, a community outreach component was introduced to the project. Four South African artists were invited to exhibit with the TMTTR artists. TMTTR - South Africa enjoyed extensive media coverage, and the exhibition’s opening was the largest in the Pretoria Art Museum’s history. For the community outreach component of TMTTR - South Africa, TMTTR artists conducted an art workshop with forty 10 to 14 year old schoolchildren at their school in Mamalodi Township, outside of Pretoria.
