THE HERDS is an act of public art and climate action on a scale so vast it will demand the world pays attention. From April to August 2025, herds of life-size puppet animals will rampage through city centres on a 20,000km route from the Congo Basin to the Arctic Circle, fleeing to escape climate disaster.

World-leading artists and organisations from culture and climate are joining together behind THE HERDS, demonstrating the power of people working together to demand change.

THE HERDS route will include Kinshasa (DRC), Lagos (Nigeria), Dakar (Senegal), Marrakesh and Casablanca (Morocco), Malaga, Madrid and Barcelona (Spain), Marseille and Paris (France), Manchester and London (UK), Copenhagen (Denmark), Stockholm (Sweden) and Trondheim (Norway) before culminating in a final event in the Arctic Circle.

As the animals travel across their 20,000km route they will grow in number and species, reacting and adapting to new environments and challenges,

We believe that what is lacking in the climate debate is not data or a scientific understanding, but a sensory, emotional experience that has the power to stimulate action and strives to bring a perspective shift to the climate crisis.
