Karmina Šilec: OVIS
Boring sheep that have been changing the world
Sheep have been central to the human story.
The key player in human history, this remarkable animal has been feeding, healing, clothing, and supporting us to prosperity and misery, to build empires and devastate landscapes, to decorate our homes and discover new continents, to build cities and create works of art.
Sheep are not just cattle waiting to become meat.
