Situated within the Cradle of Humankind, NIROX has evolved over 20 years as a site for artistic production, research and public engagement. Embraced by a 1300-hectare ecological reserve, the 30-hectare Sculpture Park brings together contemporary sculpture, landscape and environmental stewardship, creating a space where art and nature are experienced in close relation. Within the park, the Villa-Legodi Centre for Sculpture supports artists, workshops and ongoing residency programmes, fostering sustained engagement with material practice and artistic research.
