About the project
Atlanta to the Atlantic aims to foster awareness of the South River and its environmental health by bringing people into closer relationship with its waters that run through their neighborhoods.

A two-stage project, artists Rachel Parish and Sarah Cameron Sunde will first journey hundreds of miles on the river to the Atlantic Ocean. Afterwards, they will return to create a series of temporary public art installations in three Atlanta neighborhoods Arthur Langford, Jr. Park, Kirkwood Urban Forest, and Perkerson Park.

On their journey, Parish and Sunde will spend over five weeks traveling by kayak and foot along the waters of the South River, from its beginnings in southeast Atlanta to Sapelo Island. A durational work, their journey will take them from the South River (aka Weelaunee) to the Ocmulgee, then along the Altamaha and finally to the Atlantic Ocean.

Support
This project is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and Georgia Council for the Arts.
