THE HERDS 336d ago

In the shadows of an industrial mill, THE HERDS frantically search for a way back to nature. They stampede across the streets of Heywood, Rochdale chased by the noise of crashing drums. Finally they emerge from the chaos into the tranquil oasis of Queens Park, Heywood. A brief refuge from the dangers that drive them forward. But how long will this last? How many spaces are we losing, even in this moment? What will you do to protect their homes - our homes - from the climate crisis? In partnership with @factory_international, Rochdale Development Agency and @rochdalecouncil, with performance by @global_grooves. 📹Footage and edit: Chloe Morris (c) The Walk Productions In Spring 2025, THE HERDS will journey from Congo to the Arctic Circle in a vast act of public art and climate action. THE HERDS is created by The Walk Productions, the international team behind "Little Amal", the 12 foot tall puppet of a refugee child who has journeyed through 15 countries.
