Michael Fadugbagbe (b. 2003, New York) is a Nigerian-American artist & cinematographer raised in Jamaica, Queens and repatriated in Lagos, Nigeria.

His commercial practice includes strategic work for brands like HBO, Netflix, and New York Times. Through that work, he seeks to bridge artful & precise storytelling with dilligent research, cultural resonance, and marketing subversion.

His interdisciplinary art practice includes work in photography, video art, installation, sculpture, and writing addressing themes of memory, power, and movement. 

He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree with High Honors in Studio Art from Wesleyan University, where his installation “e be so!” (2025) was unanimously awarded the Jessup Prize, the university’s highest distinction in the arts, the first African man in the institution’s history.
