Bisilia Noha

Bisila Noha is a Spanish-Equatoguinean artist, researcher and writer. With her work she aims to challenge Western views on art and craft; to question what we understand as productive and worthy in capitalist societies; and to reflect upon the idea of home and oneness pulling from personal experiences in different pottery communities. 

She is a storyteller with a particular interest in the contributions of women of colour to the history of art and craft. As such, her words are a bridge bringing the past - the forgotten, the ignored, the belittled - to the present; to us. Her practice extends from vessels that bring to life clay’s history through technique and materiality; to sculptures using a range of materials which connect her to her roots, the makers that precede her and our shared past.
