Lucas Foglia’s newest book and exhibition, Constant Bloom, traces the longest butterfly migration ever discovered. Each year, Painted Lady butterflies travel between Africa, the Middle East, and Europe in search of blooming flowers. They have followed this route for millions of years.
Now, with climate change altering when and where wildflowers bloom, Painted Ladies rely on flowers in our parks, farms, and gardens. As Foglia followed the butterflies from Kenya to Norway, he also met people experiencing unseasonal droughts, floods, or freezes. Many were refugees traveling to Europe along the same route as the Painted Ladies.
In Constant Bloom, the longest butterfly migration becomes a metaphor for connection across international borders.
This beautifully printed book from Nazraeli Press gracefully explores the world and the urgent global issues of our time. With all text in English, French, and Arabic, Constant Bloom includes essays by curator Willemijn van der Zwaan and the scientists of the Worldwide Painted Lady Migration Project.
