To the River by Caroline Wright, is a public art commission to promote and celebrate the story of the River Cam in Cambridge.

Since 2018, Caroline has spent four years researching stories, facts and unusual aspects of the river to uncover how it serves as a foundation to the city. She asked residents what their relationship is to the river. And how it has shaped us in terms of social, economic, geographical, historic and ecological impact. Caroline’s research culminated in a concept proposal for a final site specific work of public art for the city, called Selvedge. Read about the proposal and public consultation on the council’s website.
