Belize@42 Mural Unveiled in Belize City!
Today, we proudly unveil the Belize@42 Mural, a magnificent masterpiece that pays homage to an original 1981 poster encouraging Belizeans to get their heads together for independence, a symbol of our journey to sovereignty.
What's truly remarkable is that the images on this wall capture the faces of real Belizeans from actual photos taken two decades ago, connecting our past and present in a beautiful tapestry of culture and identity.
The Belize City Council extends heartfelt gratitude to all who made this masterpiece possible:
๐จHon. Francis Fonseca and the National Celebrations Commission
๐จLead Artist Mr. Gilvano Swasey and our youth artists, including local students and teachers, your creativity shines brightly!
๐จMinistry of Education, Culture, Science, and Technology
๐จNational Institute of Culture and History
And let's not forget the Ministry of Sports for allowing us to use the Rogerโs Stadium fence as a canvas for this remarkable piece of art!
As we gaze upon this work of art, let us remember that we are the authors of Belize's story, and together, we continue to shape its future. ๐ง๐ฟ #muralpainting #OurHistory #UnityInArt #belizecity #belizecitycouncil #localartists
