Almut Schäfer-Kubelka

THE HERDS represent the attempt to use the power of art to draw attention to the greatest social challenge of our time and the commitment to a togetherness - not just coexistence - of humankind and nature. And just as important - to remind us of the collective pleasure of working and enjoying together.
