Del 8 de octubre al 6 de noviembre de 2021 tuvo lugar la segunda edición de la Bienal Internacional de Escultura de Uagadugú (BISO) en Burkina Faso. Este evento es el único dedicado cien por cien a la escultura africana en todo el continente.

La bienal es una iniciativa privada creada por Nyaba Ouedraogo, fotógrafo, y Christophe Person, promotor de la escena cultural africana. El objetivo es dar visibilidad internacional a los escultores del continente y promocionar la creación de esculturas en África. La primera edición tuvo lugar en 2019 con 14 participantes y la segunda en 2021 con 16 artistas provenientes de distintos países africanos que trabajan materiales muy diferentes como la cerámica o el metal. Las obras de la BISO se encuentran en el Instituto francés de Uagadugú y la visita es gratuita.
