(Ireland, Nigeria)

Chinedum Muotto is an Afro-futurist artist, technologist, and strategic thinker whose practice bridges AI cinema, ritual performance, and social jurisprudence. Born in Nigeria with spiritual ties to Haiti and deeply rooted in pan-African narratives, Muotto forges “living archives” that interrogate climate injustice, queer ecologies, and the legal afterlives of colonialism. His work has unfolded through residencies at The Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin), Pact Zollverin (Essen), Centre Culturel Irlandais (Paris), MADhouse’s Reimagining Hope program (Lagos), and—most recently—ZK/U (Berlin), where he develops Deferred Restitution, a mixed-media tribunal demanding reparations via disability law. Muotto’s installations often blend AI-generated visuals, Yoruba cosmology, and participatory ceremonies, transforming spectators into co-witnesses and jurors. A frequent collaborator with Runway ML and grassroots climate networks, he also advises on AI-driven legal access tools for marginalized communities. Across continents and mediums, Chinedum Muotto’s practice insists that art can hack the architectures of power, cultivating radically hopeful futures grounded in ancestral knowledge and emergent technology.
