Sculptures de Laongo
The Sculptures de Laongo are a sculpture park in the West African state of Burkina Faso .
In 1989, at the first symposium of Burkinabe and international sculptors initiated by the Burkinabe sculptor Siriki Ky , granite sculptures were created in the open landscape between Ziniaré and Boudtenga , near the village of Laongo ( Oubritenga province ) and today's opera village of Africa . Further symposia followed every two years, during which the park was expanded. If the sculptures were initially in the great outdoors, a few years ago the site was surrounded by a wall and can now be viewed for a fee. Sculptures come from, among others, Jean-Luc Bambara , Guy Compaoré and Claude Kabré .
