OJOKORO | VILLAGE is a creative altar studio that elevates art and mindfulness into transformative everyday objects and experiences
Who We Are
OJOKORO | VILLAGE begins as a seed, a shell, a container, a vessel. Home, sacred space.
This evolving collection of afropolitan objects and experiences for conscientious and collective becoming takes its inspiration from my maternal grandparents' home in OJOKORO VILLAGE, Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria. The homestead, which sat on 2 plots of land, one where a home was erected, and the other was a sanctuary-garden-farm of sorts, where fellowship, communion, and collective care were nurtured. Our home became a gathering space for family members, loved ones, and community members in the simple ritual of sharing experience and existence with the land, spirit, the ancestors, and one another.
There, I was inspired to create OJOKORO | VILLAGE, inspired by the idea that wherever objects and bodies exist, experiences that can transform and change us will flow from there. That sensitivity to the ritual of gathering drives this living altar's ethos of transformation beyond geographical delimitations.
As a child of the diaspora, OJOKORO | VILLAGE is everywhere we are, everywhere the land is, anyplace we call home, where the heart is. It emerges out of the space of connectivity that reverberates the silent hum of Africanity that moves through the very DNA of modern African diaspora, from Lagos, to Baltimore, to Brazil, and beyond. OJOKORO | VILLAGE sets forth an intention that through this conscientious collectivity of people, objects, and experiences, we might continue to fashion alternate ways of being, seeing, and experiencing the world in ways that honor both our roots and the nodes of connection that bind us across time and space.
Mission Statement
OJOKORO | VILLAGE cultivates sacred spaces of collective becoming through afropolitan objects and experiences that honor ancestry, land, and diasporic connection. Rooted in the memory of homestead and sanctuary, we gather people, materials, and spirit to fashion alternate ways of being, seeing, and living together.
Vision Statement
OJOKORO | VILLAGE envisions a global network of intentional spaces—physical and spiritual—where objects, bodies, and land co-create transformative experiences that sustain cultural memory, collective healing, and cultivate liberated modes of living and reimagining futures across the global modern African diaspora.
