This article discusses 'The Herds,' an ambitious public art project showcasing lifesize puppet animals traveling 20,000km from the Congo to the Arctic, highlighting the impacts of climate change. The recent London event attracted attention as these puppets paraded through iconic sites, engaging audiences with performances and invoking reflections on animal and human displacement. The project cleverly ties in popular culture, using relevant musical performances to underscore its environmental message, reminding us of future generations' concerns over climate responsibility.
In April, a menagerie of lifesize puppet animals began a 20,000km route from the Congo Basin to the Arctic Circle, symbolizing displacement due to climate change.
Watching them brought to mind Greta Thunberg's speech at the UN climate summit in 2019: 'The eyes of all future generations are upon you'.
