ABOUT THE EVENT
A refugee child on an EPIC journey. #LittleAmalWalksNYC
A little girl on a BIG journey, Little Amal is the giant puppet of a ten year old refugee girl, at the heart of Little Amal Walks NYC.
She has travelled over 9,000km embodying the urgent message “Don’t forget about us”. From September 14 – October 2, Amal will travel to New York City in partnership with St. Ann’s Warehouse.
After arriving at JFK Airport, she will travel through all five boroughs, meeting artists, civic leaders, community groups, and young New Yorkers of all backgrounds.
Since the beginning of her journey in 2021, Little Amal has travelled through over 85 cities and been welcomed at more than 190 unique events, reaching an estimated 1 million people live in the 12 countries she has already visited, and millions more online.
Little Amal Walks NYC is a co-production between The Walk Productions and St. Ann’s Warehouse in association with Handspring Puppet Company. Between 14 September – 2 October Amal will be welcomed at 55 events across the five boroughs of New York City.
