Little Amal in Belfast: Puppet visits peace walls and Stormont

A 12ft (3.7m) puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee has began her tour of Belfast by visiting Stormont and a peace wall in the west of the city.

Little Amal, whose name means ‘hope’ in Arabic, is making her way across Belfast for the next two days before moving on to Londonderry.

The centrepiece of a performance art project, The Walk, Little Amal has come to symbolise human rights and bring hope, according to the project.

She was created by the Handspring Puppet Company – the firm behind the puppet horses featured in the War Horse stage play.

Her arrival into Northern Ireland is a signature event in Belfast City Council’s Belfast 2024 programme.
