#WalkWithAmal 🚶♀️|| @walkwithamal in Jackson Heights, Queens this evening. #LittleAmal is a giant puppet of a 10-yr old Syrian refugee who has traveled the world to raise awareness for the plight of refugees. Little Amal (“Little Hope”) is also a celebration of migration and cultural diversity that tells the story of the contributions made by immigrants and refugees. . “It is because the attention of the world is elsewhere right now that it is more important than ever to reignite the conversation about the refugee crisis and to change the narrative around it. Yes, refugees need food and blankets, but they also need dignity and a voice. The purpose of The Walk is to highlight the potential of the refugee, not just their dire circumstances. Little Amal is 3.5 metres tall because we want the world to grow big enough to greet her. We want her to inspire us to think big and to act bigger.” – Amir Nizar Zuabi, Artistic Director of The Walk . . . . . #littleamalwalksnyc #syria #syrianrefugees #refugeecrisis #refugees #immigration #immigrants #migration #migrants #migrantes #inmigrantes #artivism #artivismo #artivist #artivista #jacksonheights #queens #nyc #igersnyc #puppet #giantpuppet #hope #venusinorbit (at Jackson Heights) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciy0C5vsFrF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
