Ojo Agi

Ojo Agi is a Nigerian-Canadian artist, researcher, and educator whose practice centers visuality as a site for healing, community building, and social justice. Her practice is rooted in a critical awareness of how intersecting systems of power shape our lives, bodies, and wellness. Through figurative drawings on brown paper, she centers Black women’s experiences, using negative space, value contrast, and detailed mark-making to evoke introspection and cultural memory. Ojo has exhibited across Canada and the United States, curated with Art Gallery of Ontario and Feminist Art Collective, and published in C Magazine and Herizons. She holds a BHSc in Health Sciences from the University of Ottawa and an MA in Women and Gender Studies from the University of Toronto. She is currently a PhD Candidate in Art History at Concordia University and teaching interdisciplinary drawing courses at OCAD University.
