Old City New Voices: Bristol Welcomes Little Amal

Work:: Old City New Voices: Bristol Welcomes Little Amal (S0391124647)

Little Amal captured the world's interest in 2021 as the giant, 3.5m tall puppet that walked nearly 5,000 miles across Europe, focussing our attention on the urgent needs of young refugees. That attention is now more urgent than ever, and on Friday 24 June, Little Amal, the living artwork of a young Syrian refugee child comes to Bristol - and you're invited to welcome her and walk with her around our city. Little Amal's Bristol journey will begin at 4pm outside Bristol Old Vic on King Street and then via Welsh Back to Bristol's famous St Nicholas Market and historic Corn Street - hearing music and watching performances by local artists and meeting local communities - before leaving the city at the Harbour. Meeting thousands of people along the way, the journey of Amal (which means hope in Arabic) offers a moment to reflect on Bristol's complicated past, while considering our ambitions for the future of the city.
