Isabel Okoro (b. Lagos, Nigeria) is a visual artist currently based in Toronto, ON.
She is exploring the interactions between the motherland and the diaspora, and coined the term normatopia to describe a space which considers the tensions between a harsh reality and a utopia, and chooses to rest and thrive in the humanly achievable sweet spot that exists in the middle.
At the cornerstone of her practice is visualising and developing an imagined world, Eternity, as a space to immortalize community members through stories of speculative fiction that embrace her concept of normatopia.
Isabel holds a B.sc. in Neuroscience and Psychology (High Distinction) from the University of Toronto.
Alongside friends adé abegunde & Ayotunde Sule, Isabel co-founded the creative studio local•global. She is currently the Creative Director.
