About

Our collective has its roots in an encounter over ten years ago at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. This immersion in a blend of sensibilities, backgrounds and skills laid the foundations of what drives us today: pooling our practices to create works together and develop projects collectively.

This desire gave birth to the Mumato association in 2025, a production platform that allows us to come together around shared projects. Around a core of three cofounders — Máté Kohout, Nicolas Muratore and Tom Vincent — the collective extends to collaborators, friends and artistic accomplices, with whom we share affinities of thought and practice. This shifting constellation allows us to adapt our skills and approaches to the specific contexts of each project.

This way of working as a collective, we situate within the field of commoning art and social design. For us, the creative process is a space where one can experience another way of making society, where singular trajectories meet and give rise to a community built around the project. Each intervention must stem from its territory, its narratives and its uses. This is why we work at the crossroads of art and design. What we create must be inhabited, used, appropriated — not merely contemplated. Such is our approach to contemporary creation.

In practice, Mumato operates in France and internationally through various formats: installations, residencies, commissions, exhibitions, participatory workshops, mediation programmes, cultural events...
