Ifedolapo Arolawun, known professionally as IFEOFDESIGN, is a non-binary multidisciplinary artist and cultural innovator whose work exists at the intersection of Yoruba spirituality, design, and emerging technologies. With deep reverence for ancestral traditions and a keen fluency in digital tools, Ife channels ancient wisdom through contemporary mediums to imagine new pathways for healing, connection, and remembrance.

Drawing inspiration from the Yoruba Egungun tradition where ancestral spirits manifest through masquerade, Arolawun developed Agba, a first-of-its-kind AI-powered digital masquerade. This groundbreaking work reimagines how African spiritual practices can exist and evolve in the digital realm, positioning wellness and esoteric knowledge within accessible, futuristic interfaces.

At the heart of Ife’s practice is a commitment to preserving indigenous knowledge systems while expanding their reach and relevance in a rapidly changing world.
