'Little Amal' represents a Syrian refugee girl
A huge puppet representing a Syrian refugee girl that has toured the world as a symbol of human rights will set foot in Belfast and Derry for the first time this week.
Amal – whose name means hope in Arabic – is at the heart of ‘The Walk’, a project that began three years ago on the Syria-Turkey border. The Walk has so far raised almost £750,000 for ‘The Amal Fund with Choose Love’ which provides support for refugees, including education, food, shelter, emergency medical care and legal assistance.
The Walk’s Artistic Director, Amir Nizar Zuabi, described Amal’s journeys as “moments of art and hope that draw attention to the huge numbers of children fleeing war, violence and persecution, each with their own story”.“I think that’s part of what we’re trying to create when walking into places that have a beautiful, complicated, defining history.
Lilian Seenoi Barr is Chief Executive of the North West Migrants Forum. She said she was delighted her organisation was able to assist in bringing Little Amal to the city. “In terms of location, it is hugely symbolic that she will walk across the Peace Bridge, a structure created from the embers of the conflict here and Free Derry Corner, a globally recognised emblem of defiance and the struggle for justice and democracy.”
