AYO

Christine “AYO”  (UG/NL) is a Kampala-raised, Rotterdam-based multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, sound, performance, and film.  She approaches artist-hood as a daily process of plural world-building. Through time-based and collaborative works,  AYO researches how intangible cultural heritage — including language and Indigenous knowledge systems — come into dialogue with material forms, shaping sites where histories are enlivened, shared, and times misunderstood.

AYO is currently a resident at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (2024–2026) and holds an MA from the Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam. Her work has been presented internationally, including at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the International Film Festival Rotterdam and Lofoten International Arts Festival  (LIAF), Norway.
