}}{{like resume|date=February 2016}}Amarachi Okafor (born 1977) is a Nigerian artist. Her works of art in the last couple of years have focused on culture, religion, history, gender relations and human sexuality. She has also used her art to comment on topical issues, like the spread of the Ebola virus in Africa.[1] Okafor is part of a group of artists who came from the University of Nigeria, and who are exploring more experimental forms of art.[2]

Life

Okafor was born in Umuahia.[3] In 2002 she attended a fine arts course at the University of Nigeria and in 2007, at the same University, held a master's degree in sculpture.[4] She currently works at the NGA (National Gallery of Art) in Abuja.[5] In 2007 she won a Unesco-Aschberg artists’ residency. In 2014, she was a finalist in the 2014 National Art Competition,[6] and won the Juror's prize that year.[7]
