Stockholm
In Stockholm, THE HERDS erupted into the heart of the city. The animals surged into Stortorget Square and swept through the winding alleys of Gamla Stan, the historic old town. Dust in the air, the mad rush of animals in panic, still searching for safety — the performance transformed familiar streets into a haunting vision of climate displacement.
This extraordinary moment was created in collaboration with Parkteatern – Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, Riksteatern, Albaeco, På Sergels torg, Swedish Postcode Lottery Foundation, Cullberg, Maja Frydén, Ulrika Josephsson and Annika Bromberg.
About THE HERDS
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 stormed through a 20,000km route from the Congo Basin to the Arctic Circle, symbolizing their flight from climate disaster. Along the way, they united artists, environmentalists, and communities across Africa and Europe to spark conversation and inspire change.
Created by The Walk Productions (the team behind Little Amal), THE HERDS is a call to reimagine our relationship with nature and to act together in the face of crisis.
Now BrUNIMA members have the chance to hear directly from those who brought this ambitious project to life. The full cast of speakers will be announced soon.
