Studio Ododo


  • It's Ok* Studios 468 Queen Street West Toronto, ON, M5V 2B2 Canada (map)

Muse & Museums presents Studio Ododo, an immersive installation that explores the rich floral traditions of Yoruba culture. Rooted in both historical documentation and contemporary interpretations, the installation will be on view from March 8 to March 16, 2025, at It’s Ok Studios.

Inspired by the works of celebrated African photographers such as Seydou Keïta, Malick Sidibé, and Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou, Studio Ododo is a reconstruction of a vibrant West African photo studio. It features a boldly patterned backdrop, archival photographs, vintage-inspired props, and intricately arranged floral compositions that highlight the cultural significance of flowers in Yoruba customs, spirituality, and everyday life.

The installation reimagines a space where personal history and collective memory intertwine through striking floral arrangements and archival imagery.
