Musoke Nalwoga is an independent curator, researcher, and founding director of MOTORMOND, an Amsterdam-based art space dedicated to circulating critically grounded Pan-Diasporic cultures. Born and raised in Uganda, she works between Antwerp, New York, and Amsterdam. Her curatorial practice operates with a double movement—residing both inside and outside the art world—combining rigorous research with accessible, non-academic formats that remain embedded in and responsive to the communities she serves. From this vantage point, Nalwoga engages with both institutions and infrastructures to cultivate sustained, meaningful cultural exchanges grounded in the needs of BIPOC creatives. This ethos drives MOTORMOND as a space where African and diasporic artists can build enduring relationships. Her practice also encompasses infrastructural work, including securing strategic partnerships, developing long-term collaborations, and creating sustainable fundraising models.

Recurring themes in her work include Pan-Diasporism, ecologies of transformation, decoloniality, and, most recently, the Black gaze upon nature—an approach that calls on Black communities to confront the climate crisis. Nalwoga has collaborated with institutions such as Kunstverein Braunschweig, OSCAM, Framer Framed, and Vleeshal; participated in residencies and fellowships from The New Art School Modality in New York to the A4 Foundation in Cape Town; and published with Metropolis M, Sandberg Institute, Muholi Art Institution x A4 Cape Town, Kunstverein Braunschweig, If I Can’t Dance..., as well as in her own Motormond Magazine.

She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Critical Studies from the Sandberg Institute, a Research Master’s in Cultural Analysis from the University of Amsterdam, and a BA Honours in Humanities (Art History, Linguistics, and Creative Writing). Her public programming has featured at platforms including Printed Matter New York, FoMu Antwerp, and the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam, and she has apeared as a guest lecturer at the Sandberg Institute and the University of Amsterdam.
