On the Move Exhibition

On the Move is an exhibition of professional that celebrates the lives, challenges and ecological knowledge of mobile pastoralists in the Mediterranean region. From North Africa to the Middle East, from the Iberian Peninsula to Turkey, Greece and the Balkans, the work of professional photographers from six countries are featured in this unique travelling exhibition.

On the Move began its journey at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, then moved to the 9e arrondissement in Paris at the Salons Aguado. Next stop was at the Natural History Museum in Geneva, then in the beautiful Cultural Centre of Byblos, Lebanon. In February 2015 On the Move arrived in Madrid at the Botanical Gardens and then made stops in Asturias and Extremadura – capital of Spanish transhumance. It then moved to Greece for a stop in the transhumant village of Metsovo before its stay in Athens.

At each place people have been touched by the poignant images of these transhumant shepherds and nomads. It really is an amazing journey!
