It's a video about a residency of artists/designers we have organized, entitled Transhumances !

The project is named after ‘transhumances’, a form of migration based on seasonal movement. The latter can be observed in bees, amongst others, who act as pollinators when moving between plants and fertilizing different species, vitally creating fruit and seeds. This very concept, in the early days of the pandemic, inspired Galerie Philia’s founders, seeking solutions to bring artists together in a distanced world, closer to nature and in a way that would be conducive to creation and ideas. The answer was Transhumances, a residency where invited designers would explore and experiment with natural, locally sourced materials, immediately followed by an exhibition in the same place, village or city. The initiative aims to cut down on long-distance transportations and heavy logistics, thus reducing carbon footprint, and ultimately invite the local community to discover the work of emerging and established designers.

@@galeriephilia Thanks for your detailed answer. But I am still puzzled that a gathering which celebrates localism should be named after what in human terms is nomadism. And the animal-based nomadic life has an entirely different set of beliefs, customs, skills and artefacts from village life.

@@lobstermash Transhumances is used as a metaphore; as nomadism and localism are actually linked in these types of residencies.
