Tlhologello and Letlhogonolo Sesana are the co-founders of Sesana-Sesana Studio, a research-led design practice grounded in African knowledge systems, innovation, and narrative. Both are recipients of the prestigious Corobrik Student of the Year Award and hold Master’s degrees in Architecture from Tshwane University of Technology (TUT).

Tlhologello is a designer, maker, innovator, and storyteller whose work draws deeply from indigenous cultures and craft traditions. Through tactile experimentation and spatial storytelling, she crafts objects and systems that operate at various scales; from furniture and public exhibitions to architectural interventions. She actively contributes to academia as a lecturer and external examiner for institutions both locally and internationally.

Letlhogonolo is an artist, award-winning designer, and researcher whose work explores the intersections of identity, ritual, and technology in architecture. Her practice merges performative and narrative methodologies to reimagine design as a tool for memory and transformation. She lectures at the University of Pretoria, Tshwane University of Technology, and the Graduate School of Architecture (University of Johannesburg), where she engages themes of community, history, and speculative futures in architectural pedagogy.

Together, the Sesana sisters engage architecture as a healing and disruptive force. Their studio practice challenges dominant spatial narratives and opens up new ways of building, remembering, and imagining.
