AJ Raymundo (b. 2002) is an interdisciplinary artist and cultural worker from Taguig City, Philippines. His research-led practice examines the entanglements of materiality and the interdependence of human-nonhuman nature in an act of noticing how lifeforms resurge amidst precarity. With ethnography, speculation, and salvaging as his primary modi — and his background in anthropology and political ecology as his conceptual scaffolding — his inquiries translate into various formats spanning gatherings, installations, sculptures, and lens-based interventions.
He completed his BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, cum laude, at Ateneo de Manila University, and has received grants to conduct art and research projects in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan. He has exhibited in various artist-run, alternative, and institutional spaces in Japan (Sado Island Galaxy Art Festival), Germany (Heizhaus), USA (RISD), and the Philippines (Areté, WHYNoT, 98B COLLABoratory, spore/node).
In 2025, he became the inaugural winner in the conceptual art category at the Ateneo College Awards in the Arts. In 2026, he was named Cohort Laureate by the Young Climate Prize, and was shortlisted for Prince Claus Seed Award.
