Ikang is a design and applied research studio rethinking how people come together.

We treat space as a social act.

As cities grow more diverse, more digital, and more fragmented, the question of how strangers gather, relate, and recognize one another has never been more urgent.

Named after the Ibibio word for light, Ikang is a practice of making relations visible: between body and space, stranger and stranger, individual and collective.

The studio is led by Odudu, a designer and artist whose practice sits at the convergence of architectural phenomenology, performance, and spatial storytelling.
