The MEditerranean RIm WIkiart Project (MERIWIP) is a blogart project at http://wikiartists.blogspot.com that invites people living in the countries that surround the Mediterranean Sea to collaborate in creating a web-enabled peer-produced artwork.  People from the 21 Mediterranean Rim countries (Spain, France, Monaco, Malta, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco) are participating in MERIWIP by submitting pictures of their wedding celebrations.  Other Med Rim couples send them native flowers as wedding gifts.  Both the wedding pictures and flowers are posted on the blogart site in the geographical order of the countries as they surround the Sea. 

MERIWIP is creating a dynamic interchange between people living in the Med Rim countries promoting good will and unity – not the unity of the uniform, but multiform unity in which

the distinctive culture of each country is honored.  Marriage is an archetype of multiform unity, a loving unification that respects diversity.  At its best, it creates a vibrant harmony between two singular people of different sexes, life experiences, cognitive styles, and viewpoints.  It is a model for bringing inter-cultural dialogue and peaceful relationships between to the rich variety of peoples and nations surrounding the Sea.
