This [public art work speaking to the growing refugee crisis around the worl](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/goodchance/the-walk-the-most-ambitious-public-artwork-of-our-time)d is really great. I backed it earlier this week when I saw my friend Sunny back it.

> From July to November 2021, a giant puppet of a 9-year-old Syrian refugee girl called ‘Little Amal’ will walk from the Syria-Turkey border, across Europe to the UK, travelling 8,000km to focus awareness on the refugee crisis. [**_The Walk_**](https://www.walkwithamal.org/) is an international arts festival meets endurance event – the length and sheer size of the challenge is capturing imaginations even before our heroine’s first step.
