LIVERMORE – Presented in Livermore by Livermore Valley Arts and Three Thirty-Three Arts, the exhibition brings this internationally traveling herd to the Tri-Valley. As you meet the herd, split between Bankhead Plaza and Stockmen’s Park, you’ll discover a story of conservation and the relationship between people and wildlife. Best of all, you can experience the entire exhibition for free, with the herd open for everyone to enjoy.

Each sculpture is handcrafted from dried lantana plants and faithfully modeled after a real wild elephant from southern India’s Nilgiri Hills. You’ll get to know a herd inspired by animals that live alongside people in one of the world’s most densely populated landscapes. LIV The Great Elephant Migratio…
Created by Indigenous artisans from the Bettakurumba, Paniya, Kattunayakan, and Soliga communities of The Real Elephant Collective, the sculptures invite you to see wildlife from an entirely different perspective.
You’re encouraged to consider the idea at the heart of the herd’s worldwide journey: people and animals can learn to share space and coexist.
