Sitou Matt - Street Artist
"I had the opportunity to travel a lot which allowed me to come across different sources of inspiration, nourished by encounters, discoveries, different cultures."
About
After studying finance, Sitou quickly decided to change his life to give free rein to his imagination. Originally from Togo, a country in West Africa, where he grew up, Sitou started graffiti there in 2003 and then created the first graphic arts studio dedicated to screen printing and street wear.
After having traveled a lot in Africa, he fell in love with street art and then decided to devote himself entirely to his passion, urban culture. A pioneer in West Africa in making walls speak, Sitou never stops painting, from festivals to exhibitions and workshops, and endeavors to share his art with through different participatory approaches.
Indeed, Sitou is a committed artist, he has organized many events (festivals, exhibitions, etc.) to promote urban Afro culture and to make it a vector of communication around themes such as sustainable development, health or even cohesion. He also leads workshops with children, young people and other audiences to make art a common good accessible to all.
