LIVINGSTONE MUKASA

Livingstone Mukasa is an architect, artist, editor, and cultural strategist working at the intersections of Pan African architectural history, cultural anthropology, and the material heritage of African diasporic migrations. His career spans architectural practice, sustainable development consulting, tech startups, real estate development, and curatorial work, all grounded in a commitment to Africa centered design and intergenerational mentorship. He currently serve as Interim Director and Co-Founder of the Mĩcere Gĩthae Mũgo Foundation, a global nonprofit dedicated to advancing Africana knowledge systems, literary and oratory arts, and social justice. In this role, Livingstone leads strategy, governance, and cultural programming rooted in the legacy of the late Professor Mĩcere Gĩthae Mũgo, shaping institutional futures that are both ethically grounded and radically imaginative. A published writer and frequent lecturer, he co-authored and co-edited Theorising Architecture in Sub-Saharan Africa (DOM, 2021) and the seven volume Architectural Guide Sub-Saharan Africa (DOM, 2021). His creative practice extends to visual art, with exhibitions including A Global Homage to Architecture and Design (Affinity Art Gallery, Lagos, 2021) and HERstory: The Women in Our Lives(Art Associates Gallery, Albany, NY, 2022). He is a 2021 grantee of the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and a 2022 grantee of the Joseph and Anni Albers Foundation. Guided by the belief that design, culture, and knowledge stewardship are essential to equitable futures, Livingstone continues to champion sustainable and culturally responsive approaches to design, development, and social impact across the African world.
