Christine 'AYO' is a Kampala-raised, Rotterdam-based multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, sound, performance, and film. AYO 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, customs, indigenous knowledge, among others — can come into dialogue with material forms, shaping sites where histories are enlivened, shared, or misunderstood.
AYO's work has recently been presented at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Lofoten International Arts Festival, Norway, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin and Art Rotterdam, among others.
