In this episode, Gabrielle speaks with Bisila Noha about heritage, combining throwing & hand building, translation, movement, going inward, and her WORKING PROCESS.
Bisila Noha is a Spanish-Equatoguinean London-based ceramic artist, researcher, and writer. With her work, Bisila 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. Follow Bisila on Instagram, or visit her website to learn more about her work.
