Amara Okafor is a dynamic curator dedicated to demystifying the gallery experience and making art institutions financially and socially sustainable. She specializes in the "front of house" mechanics: designing lighting systems that protect art while guiding visitors, writing wall text that engages Gen Z, and creating community programs that drive genuine diversity. Amara challenges traditional metrics like ticket sales, advocating for engagement-based success models. She writes for gallery directors, curators, and non-profit boards looking for actionable strategies to remain relevant and solvent in a changing cultural landscape.
