Recommendations for Tuesday, 22 April 2025
A traveling puppet show called “The Herd” is in Lagos, Nigeria. The show is moving from Central Africa to the Arctic, highlighting the effect of climate change. At each stop, artists make new puppets based on local animals with the local population, teaching them about the environment. #CompetingPerspectives #EnvironmentalLaw https://www.africanews.com/2025/04/21/the-herds-puppets-highlight-climate-change-in-lagos/
