AI overview
I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The image caption only mentions a Van Gogh painting of Roma nomads, but provides no substantive information about what nomadism is, why people practice it, or why it matters. I cannot responsibly write a factual overview without additional reliable source material.

Nomads are communities without fixed habitation who regularly move to and from areas. Such groups include hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads (owning livestock), tinkers and trader nomads. In the twentieth century, the population of nomadic pastoral tribes slowly decreased, reaching an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world .
