Titus Shitaatala (b. 1998) is a Namibian digital artist and architectural designer from Windhoek whose socially motivated creations have made a notable impact. True to his family name, which means “what they look at,” Shitaatala commands attention for his work, using digital platforms to engage a new generation of audiences.
Working in a style he describes as locally inspired Afro-Futurism, Shitaatala creates intricate digital collages that address pressing social and historical issues, from economic inequality to cultural division. His process involves meticulously sourcing and piecing together images to build a narrative before digitally manipulating colour, scale, and dimension to provoke emotion. His works range from nostalgic reflections to radical calls for societal change, positioning him as an artistic activist for the digital age.
Shitaatala's creative practice is uniquely informed by his academic background. He holds an Honours degree in Architecture from the Namibia University of Science and Technology (2020), and his interests in sustainable design, local materials, and cultural heritage are central to both his art and his architecture. This dual focus allows him to seek holistic solutions for community matters through both built environments and visual commentary.
