NO ONE SHOULD
FACE THE WORLD ALONE

Obodo is a Nigerian-based non-profit that empowers queer artists through arts, culture, and community. Rooted in the Igbo word for “village” or “community,” Obodo is both a space and a commitment to belonging, healing, and collective growth.

Obodo supports queer communities through artist grants and residencies, exhibitions, workshops, counselling and health support, research, and advocacy-focused programs that centre queer lived experiences.

We work with queer, trans, and allied artists, cultural workers, researchers, and community members, as well as local and international partners who support equity, creative freedom, and human rights.

Obodo is based in Nigeria and runs both physical and digital programs, including a community space that functions as a library, co-working hub, and venue for events and workshops.

You can support Obodo by funding our programs, partnering on projects or campaigns, amplifying our work and the voices of our artists, or donating resources such as books, technology, tools, housing, or space.
