We are pleased to announce Fatim Soumaré's participation in the 4th edition of BISO Biennale in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Entitled “Unbearable Border”, the exhibition will open to the public from 20 to 24 November 2025 in the FESPACO amphitheatre in Ouagadougou.

After the first three editions, in 2019 with Dare to Invent the future, in 2021 with The Ambiguous Adventure and in 2023 with The Fire of Origins, this fourth edition called Unbearable Border places the residencies at the center of the event. 16 sculptors and visual artists of fifteen different nationalities have been selected to take part in the creative residency, which will run from 24 October to 20 November 2025 in Ouagadougou. The residencies are designed to help artists explore new techniques, and to encourage the exchange of know-how with Burkinabé craftsmen, artists and designers.
