Richard Kofi | Museum of Black Futures

Richard Ampadu Kofi (b. 1988, Wageningen) is a Dutch-Ghanaian artist and curator working at the intersection of speculative futures and decolonial heritage practices. His multidisciplinary approach weaves together drawing, collage, video, performance, and public ritual to explore the layered entanglements between past, present, and future. 

Kofi is the founding director of The Museum of Black Futures, a nomadic and community-based museum platform that explores alternative models of heritage education, digital archiving, and institutional transformation. Through podcasting the museum challenges conventional notions of ownership, restitution, and cultural stewardship. In 2025, Kofi will launch an English-language podcast series that deepens its engagement with Black speculative world-building.

Richard Kofi’s work resonates with fields such as Afrofuturism, decolonial museology, and memory activism, shaped by a commitment to radical imagination as method.
