By Zoila Palma: In recognition of Belize’s 45th Anniversary of Independence, the National Assembly is hosting a temporary sculpture exhibition entitled “The Two Pillars of Belize Independence.”
The exhibition opened this morning and forms part of the cultural and commemorative activities marking this year’s independence celebrations.
The exhibition features the work of artist and sculptor Stephen Okeke and showcases two sculpted busts of George Cadle Price, Father of the Nation and National Hero.
Crafted from yellow silicone bronze, the sculptures commemorate Price’s life, leadership and enduring contribution to Belize’s journey toward self-government and independence.
The two sculptures are being displayed in the foyer of the National Assembly, giving Members of the National Assembly, staff, students and visitors an opportunity to view the artwork.
The exhibition highlights Price’s historic role in Belize’s political development while bringing art and national remembrance together as part of the country’s 45th Independence celebrations.
“The Two Pillars of Belize Independence” will remain open to the public from Wednesday, September 16, through Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.
The National Assembly has also extended its appreciation to Okeke for sharing his artistic work and contributing to the independence commemorations.
