Land, sheep, and people: Transformations of Pastoralism in the Basque Country and Palestine
Inspired by the secular tradition of pastoralism, this exhibition shows works of art in small formats, conceived as ‘dioramas’, which depict pastoral scenes in the Basque Country and Palestine. In these two very different contexts, small-scale sheepherding has undergone great transformations over the course of the last decades, at the same time as remaining a fundamental element in the construction of collective identity.
The dioramas are made with recycled cardboard, coming for example from cereal boxes. Painted in watercolor, the scenes in them evoke the contrast between the bucolic and idealized appearance of this traditional way of life and the reality of life today with all its challenges - political, economic, social and environmental.
