Statue of Betty Campbell, Bronze memorial in Central Square, Cardiff, United Kingdom
The four meter bronze sculpture depicts Betty Campbell's head and shoulders forming a canopy above ten children at play and study.
In 2021, this monument became the first outdoor statue of a named woman in Wales, commemorating the nation's first black headteacher.
The sculpture integrates miniature bronze models of Tiger Bay landmarks, including the Pierhead Building and Wales Millennium Centre at its base.
The monument includes built-in bronze chairs at its base where visitors can sit and observe the detailed features of the artwork.
The children's feet in the sculpture merge into a detailed streetscape of Tiger Bay, creating a connection between past and present generations.
