The Art of Healing (TAOH) x Hospital Rooms

Omuku and Hospital Rooms have enjoyed a longstanding collaboration, with Omuku contributing to numerous projects over the years.

In 2018, she was commissioned by Hospital Rooms to paint a mural in a psychiatric intensive care ward for women in London. This project, supported by Arts Council England, ignited her passion to create a transformative initiative that could uplift mental health services in Nigeria.

Inspired by her work with Hospital Rooms in the UK, Omuku established her own arts organisation in Nigeria, named Ona Iwosan (The Art of Healing). TAOH’s first mural project, launched at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, is set to be completed this year, marking a significant step in bringing contemporary art into mental health care across Africa.
