About

Arteries.blue is dedicated to bridging this gap through data-driven storytelling. By combining interactive data, graphics, animations, articles from researchers and photostories from local journalists, it decodes complex information and presents it in an engaging, accessible format. Arteries.blue aims to convey river-related narratives to both specialised and general audiences, with a design that echoes the attire and resilience of Syrian women.

This edition of Arteries.blue sails along the Euphrates River in Syria, a river which is entwined in ancient history and contemporary challenges. It highlights previously untold stories from the river,sharing the voices and experiences of those who interact with its waters. Arteries.blue thus transforms the perception of the Euphrates from a mere physical entity into a dynamic symbol of cultural and environmental importance.

By emphasising the unique context of the Euphrates, Arteries.blue deepens understanding and awareness of the river. Its ultimate goal is to use accessible science communication, infused with cultural motifs, for more informed, inclusive decision-making processes, influencing the future of rivers worldwide.
