As The Herds make their way from Central Africa, you can visit The Exchange to see some of the incredible puppeteers talk about their work creating the large-scale puppets, and the smaller ones that we will be making and using for a series of Family Art Club sessions.

THE HERDS: HABITATS & HOMES

THE HERDS is public art and climate action on an unprecedented scale – an ambitious coming together of culture and climate.

From April to August 2025, life-size puppet animals will travel a 20,000km route from the Congo Basin to the Arctic Circle, symbolizing their flight from climate disaster.

THE HERDS unites leading artists and organisations committed to driving change, including The Exchange…

Supported by The Art Fund, The Exchange’s Habitats & Homes programme explores the habitats of some of our favourite animals and the craft of puppet-making.
