We are thrilled to have Bisila Noha talking us through her practice, topics and the research behind it for our next CLAY social on Sunday 22nd June 2025.

​

Bisila Noha is a Spanish-Equatoguinean London-based ceramic artist, researcher and writer. Her work 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 ceramic practice extends from wheel-thrown pieces with the distinctive addition of marbled slip decoration to create eye-catching abstract landscapes; to sculptural pieces mixing throwing, coiling and carving which connect her to her roots, the makers that precede her and the past.

​

With a background in Translation and International Relations, Bisila is a passionate feminist activist leading the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre and co - directing the arts and activism organisation Lon-art Creative; she is also part of the Steering Committee at Design Can.
