Meet the MAP Jury! 📣
Ayodeji Rotinwa is a writer and editor documenting the pulse of African creativity.
From the pages of the New York Times and Financial Times to the heart of the Myma Art Prize, Ayodeji’s work explores the powerful collision of art, culture, and politics. Whether he’s reporting on the restitution of African artifacts or reviewing the latest movements in West African art, he brings a sharp, critical eye to the stories that shape our identity.
We are thrilled to have Ayodeji’s deep insight and global perspective as part of the #mymaartprize journey.
