About Kialy Tihngang
Kialy Tihngang is a Glasgow-based Cameroonian-British artist and researcher. Her practice focuses on colonial European misrepresentation, extraction, and demonisation of West African cultural practices, but also on her own misremembering, misreading, and romanticisation of said practices, fabulating artefacts from reimagined histories and speculated futures.
Her work uses Afro-presentism, the dark humour of Nollywood, and the visual language of Western mass media to explore Blackness, queerness, Britishness, and the absurd structural oppressions surrounding these personal themes.
