Chasing LOVE: a Welcoming Week Global Cultural Celebration
Join us at LOVE Park on September 14, 4-6pm, for a FREE event featuring music by DJ Foxy, artists from BalletX and Mad Beatz Philly, and art-making activities led by Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture, with special guest Little Amal, a 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl and global symbol of refugee rights.
Chasing LOVE follows Little Amal on a journey down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, accompanied by dancers from BalletX and musicians from Mad Beatz Philly, to retrieve her heart-shaped necklace, created by artist Ife Nii-Owoo. The Walk begins outside of the Rodin Museum and ends at LOVE Park with a playlist of love-themed music by DJ Foxy, an all-ages art-making activity led by Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture, heart-shaped giveaways, cookies, and more.
All are invited to show Amal how truly welcome she, and all refugees, are in Philadelphia: the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.
There are three ways to join Little Amal’s journey beginning at 4:00 p.m.:
Meet Little Amal outside of the Rodin Museum to follow her procession down the Parkway, with BalletX and Mad Beatz Philly;
Wait at locations along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and help build the procession behind Little Amal; OR
Gather at LOVE Park, with DJ Foxy and Al-Bustan, to welcome Little Amal to her concluding celebration in Philadelphia!
The event will be filmed and photographed by THE OFFICE performing arts+film.
