Mumato is a multidisciplinary collective founded in 2023, at the intersection of art, design and social practices in creation. Founded by three creators with complementary backgrounds — Nicolas Muratore (artist and cultural facilitator), Tom Vincent (designer and digital craftsman) and Máté Kohout (artist-photographer and versatile technician) —, the collective was built around a shared conviction: that artistic practices can be powerful drivers of social and environmental transformation.

Our approach is based on co-construction, experimentation and attention to processes as much as final forms. We design our projects as spaces for dialogue and inclusion, where audiences become actors in the creative process. We seek to bring forth new narratives, strengthen collective bonds and foster the resilience of the communities we work with.

We situate our practice within a perspective of cultural urbanism: our interventions place artistic creation at the heart of territorial issues to improve the liveability of places, whether urban, rural or landscape. We consider art and design as tools for diagnosis, mediation and transformation capable of concretely addressing the challenges of a territory.

Around this founding core gravitates an extended circle of collaborators, friends and artistic accomplices, with whom we share affinities of thought, practice and ethics. This shifting constellation allows us to adapt our skills and approaches to the specific contexts of each project.

Mumato operates in France and internationally through various formats: artistic residencies, public procurement responses, exhibitions, participatory workshops, mediation programs... Each intervention is conceived as situated action-research, attentive to cultural rights, accessibility and diversity of expression.
