The giant puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl is walking through today (June 24). The living artwork will be situated outside Bristol Old Vic on King Street at 4pm before her journey through the Welsh Back, St Nicholas Market and Corn Street.
Visitors are welcome to join as there will be music and performances by local artists. Amal will also meet with local communities - before leaving the city at the Harbour.
Little Amal was designed to highlight the plight of child refugees and became an international symbol of human rights after she journeyed from the Turkish-Syrian border to Manchester last July. On Sunday, the 3.5m puppet began her New Steps New Friends tour, visiting 10 towns and cities across England to share her resilient and hopeful message: “Don’t forget about us.”
