A River Flows Downstream explores the theme of water and rivers in the Middle East and the impact of floods and droughts on communities, landscapes, and ecosystems. The exhibition takes viewers on a journey along rivers ranging from Tunisia to Iran through the work of 8 participating artists who invite audiences to engage with the shifting ecological and cultural landscapes that they photograph. The works on display underscore the interdependence between the natural world and humanity and how crucial this relationship is to the future of both worlds. The show is curated by Roï Saade and presented with Tribe Photo Magazine. 

Artists  featured Hoda Afshar (Iran), Zied Ben Romdhane (Tunisia), Solmaz Daryani (Iran), Reem Falaknaz (U.A.E.), Paul Gorra (Lebanon), Emin Özmen (Turkey), and Roi Saade & Tamara Abdul Hadi (Lebanon/Iraq).
