Kialy Tihngang (b. Cardiff, 1994) is a Cameroonian-British multidisciplinary artist and researcher living and working in Glasgow. She completed her undergraduate studies at Glasgow School of Art in 2021 and is currently completing a PHD at the University of Stirling. Within a practice incorporating moving-image, sculpture, performance, textile, photomontage and writing, Tihngang examines the colonial European misrepresentation, suppression and demonisation of West African cultural practices – as well as her own personal misremembering, misreading and romanticisation of said practices. Incorporating elaborate and exaggerated handmade sets, costumes and props, her work merges Afropresentism, the dark humour of Nollywood and the visual language of Western mass media to explore Blackness, queerness, Britishness and the absurd structural oppressions that impact one’s lived experience of each.
