The "absolutely amazing" Little Amal arrived in Liverpool's bustling city centre today, June 21, where she was welcomed by hoards of people keen to see her.
Her journey kicked off outside the Martin Luther King Jr Building, before she embarked on a powerful procession past some of the city's legendary landmarks along Liverpool's iconic waterfront. The giant 3.5m puppet was first seen by the public in 2021 as the centrepiece of a performance art project named The Walk.
The Walk was an emotive and effective project designed to highlight the plight of refugees, with Little Amal created in the image of a Syrian refugee child to help connect the public to the countless children displaced by wars and other turmoil. Amal is a partly-animatronic puppet and has travelled more than 8,000km in support of refugees.
