Biography

A Nigerian artist, creative technologist, and cultural thinker exploring storytelling, immersive media, and African futures.

Peace Olatunji's multidisciplinary practice draws from animation, XR, and artificial intelligence to interrogate digital colonialism, restore erased narratives, and amplify African visual languages.
