Little Amal: Syrian refugee child puppet brings message of hope

A 12ft (3.7m) puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee is on her way to Belfast.

Little Amal will make her way across the city from May 16-19 before moving on to Londonderry.

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

Little Amal was created to represent the story of young refugees travelling from war-torn Syria highlighting the difficulties they face trying to reach safety.

The puppet will dock at Donegall Quay in Belfast at 18:30 BST on Thursday.

Since 2021 Little Amal has visited 15 countries including Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Italy, France and the US ,and toured 160 towns.

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

She will be in Belfast for four days and will traverse the city visiting peace walls in the west, CS Lewis Square in the east and attending a host of community events and art installations in between.
