Bisila Noha

Bisila Noha (b. 1989) is a Spanish ceramic and mixed-media artist of Equatorial Guinean heritage, based in London. Her practice challenges conventional perceptions of ceramics by moving beyond decoration to create sculptural forms that engage memory, identity, migration, and belonging. Working primarily with clay, Noha develops abstract landscapes and organic structures that connect personal narratives to broader questions of ancestry, cultural inheritance, and collective history.

Drawing on her Equatorial Guinean roots and diasporic experience, Noha approaches clay as both material and archive. Her works embody processes of transformation, carrying traces of movement, adaptation, and resilience while exploring the enduring relationship between land, body, and memory. Through hand-built forms and experimental surfaces, she creates spaces where past and present converge, allowing forgotten histories and inherited knowledge to re- emerge in contemporary form.

Noha holds a background in Translation and International Relations and is a committed advocate for greater inclusion within the cultural sector. She leads the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre and co-directs the arts and activism organisation Lon-art Creative. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Crafts Council, Harrow Arts Centre, Art Gallery at Hampshire Cultural Trust, Two Temple Place, Galerie REVEL Bordeaux, and Unit London.
