First biennial dedicated to contemporary sculpture on the African continent, the Biennale International Sculpture of Ouagadougou (BISO) is a flagship artistic event of Africa and its diaspora, dedicated to sculpture in all its forms. After the success of the three first editions, in 2019 under the theme Dare to invent the future, in 2021 with Adventure ambiguous and 2023 with The Fire of Origins, the objective of the BISO 2025 Biennale is to strengthen the support and visibility of sculptor artists and consolidate their place on the art market contemporary.
