The Herds - Pennington Flash

What is "The Herds"?

A groundbreaking public art and climate initiative designed to inspire action and renew our bond with the natural world. From April to August 2025, life-size puppet animals will sweep through city centers on a 20,000km journey from the Congo Basin to the Arctic Circle, fleeing climate disaster.

Events and performances by world-class artists will respond as the herds move, bringing together the worlds of arts and science in an urgent call for climate action.
