Léonard Pongo is a visual artist living and working between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Belgium. His practice interlaces a lens-based approach with textile design, experimental printing techniques and moving images to form immersive mixed-media installations. Dividing his time between long-term projects in the DRC, teaching and commissions, Pongo is committed to expanding the visibility of African narratives. He is co-director of The Photographic Collective, a platform dedicated to supporting and amplifying the voices of African artists, mentors emerging practitioners at MINO Lab Antwerpen alongside Otobong Nkanga and is an associate researcher at Thinking Tools, a research group of the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
