Little Amal — whose name means ‘hope’ in Arabic — is a 12-foot puppet of a refugee Syrian child who has traveled to 13 countries. MASS MoCA, as a North Adams Partner of Amal Walks Across America by The Walk Productions in association with Handspring Puppet Company, will create and host a free public event as part of her 6,000-mile national tour comprising more than 100 events in 35 cities and towns across the US from Boston to San Diego.
Amal began her journey from the Syrian border and carries a message of hope for displaced people everywhere, especially children who have been separated from their families. Her urgent message is simple — “don’t forget us.” This event is free to the public and open to all.
