In 2021, the 3.5 metre-tall living artwork of a young Syrian refugee child will walk across Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and the UK to focus attention on the urgent needs of young refugees. 'Little Amal' is not so little at 3.5m high. Find out more about how she operates from her creators African Handspring Puppet Company with the collaboration of a large team of artists.
