Liz Lambert, Winner of the Bourse CNA X LUGA 2024

In 2023, the practice of transhumance, the seasonal movement of people and livestock, was recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. In Luxembourg, one of the few remaining transhumant sheep farms continues to traverse the country’s meadows, villages, and urban landscapes, maintaining a tradition that has shaped human-animal relationships and ecological systems for centuries.

Over several months, photographer Liz Lambert closely followed this farm, capturing the intricate dynamics between shepherds, sheep, and their shifting environments. Her work examines the broader implications of transhumance in contemporary society, considering its role in sustaining biodiversity and mediating the rural-urban divide.
