Leonardo Sitoe (b. 2000) is a multidisciplinary visual artist born in South Africa and based in Johannesburg, with familial roots in Maputo, Mozambique. Working primarily with wood, his practice is deeply informed by Afro-Surrealism, using dreaming as a conceptual framework to explore the complexities of the African diasporic experience. Through carving, assemblage, and material transformation, Sitoe uncovers the memory, history, and potential embedded within his chosen materials, allowing them to become vessels for storytelling and reflection. His work challenges histories of racialisation, displacement, and colonisation, transforming reclaimed wood into powerful acts of remembrance and resistance. By weaving together ancestral knowledge, imagination, and contemporary perspectives, Sitoe creates sculptural works that examine identity, belonging, and cultural memory. His evolving practice invites viewers to reconsider inherited narratives while envisioning new possibilities for healing, reclamation, and collective futures through poetic and deeply symbolic forms.
