Léonard Pongo is a visual artist and filmmaker who lives and works between Belgium and the Democratic Republic of Congo. His practice brings together photography, moving image, textile and print into site-specific installations, drawing from Congolese cosmologies and ancestral narratives, in ongoing conversation with a land that holds its own living knowledge.
