About Ọ̀KẸ́

Ọ̀KẸ́ is a Toronto-based art initiative founded to curate exhibitions that unveil cultural riches and foster meaningful community connections through art.
 

At Ọ̀KẸ́, we believe art should move across spaces, into communities, and through conversations. We’re reimagining how people engage with art by curating exhibitions, events, and projects that are bold, accessible, and deeply rooted in culture.

Exhibitions

Where creativity and innovation come together.
Explore a diverse range of artworks and installations that challenge perspectives and inspire dialogue. 

MY VIEW, YOUR?

MY VIEW, YOUR? is an environmental art exhibit that challenges and invites viewers to see the world from different perspectives. This exhibit will feature landscape & architecture inspired works from five diverse artists, each bringing their unique vision of landscapes, not only as physical spaces but as reflections of personal experience.
The exhibit name, "MY VIEW, YOUR?", plays on the idea of seeing through someone else's eyes, raising questions about perception, place, and personal connection to the natural world.

Featuring: Mirabel Ehirim, Christine Drouin, Aaron Borchardt, Ola Idris Ali & Shamika Pierre
