The Herds

The Herds is a public arts initiative with an aim to bring awareness to the the issues of climate change - which often results in the forced migration of animal species. The Herds will travel 12,400 miles and visit 20 cities across four months to “flee climate disaster,” with the group making their way from the Congo Basin through Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, and Norway - finishing in the Arctic Circle in August.

The puppets are made primarily from recycled materials: cardboard for the skin and rubber for the joints.

As it travels, the herd will be joined by new locally created puppets representing local species, such as vervet monkeys in Nigeria, wolves and red deer in Europe, and reindeer in Norway. Sadly, some puppets will also 'die' along the route

Today in Labor History March 1, 1954: The U.S. detonated Castle Bravo, a 15-megaton hydrogen bomb on Bikini Atoll. It caused the worst radioactive contamination ever by the U.S. However, this occurred after years of nuclear testing and contamination of the islands and waters around them. The U.S. detonated 23 nuclear devices on the islands from 1946 to 1958. They blew up the bombs on the reef, in the sea, in the air and underwater. They relocated islanders several times, each time to supposedly safe islands. But they neglected to provide sufficient food and water, causing starvation. When the islanders tried to catch fish to eat, or grow their own crops, they were so contaminated from radioactive fallout, that it poisoned all who ate it. Women started having miscarriages and giving birth to babies with abnormalities. To this day, it is still too contaminated for inhabitants and their descendants to return. A trust fund that had been set up to help support the survivors ran out of funds in the late 2010s.

...we’ve identified three new trends in how European countries are erecting barriers:

- borders are being heavily policed and the resources used to manage the borders have transformed

- Europe-based NGOs that support migrants are being harassed

- the asylum process is being exported or subcontracted, to African countries.

The EU’s “fortress” approach is a waste of resources that could be put to better use in more humane and sustainable ways. No matter what measures European countries take, irregular migration will continue. Mobility is natural to human life. People will always seek out better options.

Between 1932 and 1948, Yosef Weitz was the director of the Jewish National Fund's Land Settlement Department. He wrote in his diary:

On 1941, June 22:
"The land of Israel is not small at all, if only the [Palestinian] Arabs will be removed, and if its frontiers would be enlarged a little; to the north all the way to Litani [River in Lebanon], and to the east including the Golan Heights […] while the Arabs be transferred to northern Syria and Iraq […] From now on we must work out a secret plan based on the removal of the Arabs from here [and] to include it into American political circles."

On 1941, June 26:
"Through out the journey my reflections were focused on [the plan] of evacuating the country for us [the settlers]. Only through population transfer will redemption come […] There is no room for us with our neighbours […] They [the natives] are too many and too much rooted [in the country]. The only way is to cut and eradicate them from the roots. […] People and money will be transferred there. We will set up an apparatus from the Yishuv manned by distinguished experts and these will supervise the [Palestinian] Arab transfer and resettlement and a second apparatus will receive the [Jewish] redeemers and plant them in the land."

On 1948, April 28:
"Khayriyah and Saqiyah [two Palestinian Arab villages in the coastal plain] have also been cleared out. My plan is getting implemented."

In 1949:
"[During the British Mandate period, the JNF had purchased land] crumb by crumb. But now a great change has taken place before our eyes. The spirit of Israel, in a giant thrust, has burst through the obstacles, and has conquered the keys to the land, and the road to fulfillment has been freed from its bonds and its guardians-enemies [referring to the natives]. Now, only now, the hour has come for planning considered [regional] plans […] The abandoned lands will never return to their absentee [Palestinian Arab] owners."
