Symposium de sculpture sur granit de Laongo

Symposium de sculpture sur granit de Laongo, Granite sculpture garden in Laongo, Burkina Faso.

The Laongo Granite Sculpture Symposium is an open-air art garden where sculptors carve directly into natural rock formations and add metal elements to their compositions. The collection sits within a natural landscape dotted with granite outcrops that serve as both canvas and inspiration for the artists.

The symposium started in 1989 as a gathering of international sculptors and has since become an established venue for ongoing artistic creation. New sculptures continue to be added regularly, marking the site's evolution as a living art project rather than a fixed collection.

The site brings together visitors from around the world to experience works by artists from different continents, each piece reflecting distinct artistic visions. This gathering of creative expression from multiple cultures makes the place a meeting point for people who appreciate art and cultural exchange.

The site is open daily and you can walk freely among the sculptures at your own pace to explore the entire collection. Guides are available at the location to answer questions about specific artworks and provide context about the artists who created them.

The granite that sculptors work with comes from natural rock outcrops already present on the land, not quarried specifically for the project. This means each artwork grows out of the landscape itself, making the natural geology of the place an essential part of every creation.
