Chango Chitoko’s work is a powerful representation of the resilience and struggles of the ordinary African woman. Her sculptures capture her daily fight to balance family responsibilities while enduring the challenges of poverty, discrimination, and inequality. Through his artistry, Chitoko seeks to breathe life into lifeless situations—transforming hardship into triumph, despair into hope, and struggle into resilience.
Inspired by the rejuvenation of life, her work reflects moments where perseverance overcomes adversity, and strength emerges from suffering. Chitoko expresses these emotions through birds and animals, sculpted from Zimbabwe’s finest stones, including Green Opal, Dolomite, Black Serpentine (Springstone), Cobalt, and other indigenous materials. Each piece tells a humbling yet powerful story of victory over life’s tribulations, celebrating the unyielding spirit of survival and renewal.
