3-7pm | Tianquiztli Street Festival | Outside The Patterson Theater, 3134 Eastern Ave.
Over nine weeks this fall, Amal joins 1,500-plus artists at more than 100 artistic events across 35 towns and cities. The nationwide journey begins in Boston, MA, on September 7 and culminates on November 5 in San Diego, CA.
Creative Alliance along with Baltimore Center Stage, Love Groove Festival, Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore, The Charmery, and CHEER (Community Health and Empowerment through Education) will welcome Little Amal to the city of Baltimore September 15-16.
Along her epic cross-country 6,000-mile journey, she will meet with a wide range of displaced and disenfranchised people, including North American Indigenous people, communities of color whose contributions to the story of America have historically been overlooked, recent migrants, and the ancestors of earlier immigrants, to learn more about the stories of the American people who established roots in these communities over the last hundred-plus years.
Story & Performance by Angie Gutierrez & Yesenia Mejia
Special Thanks to Hoesy Corona, Heather Keating, The Friends of Patterson Park
