This collection showcases the work of Cameroonian artist Franck Kemkeng Noah, who was an artist-in-residence at Texas Southern University in Spring 2023. Noah's art is multimedia, often using found objects, and explores identity and globalization through a Bamileke lens. During his time at TSU, Noah mentored students and created a painting.
Noah is a Cameroonian artist who had a residency at TSU in Spring 2023. The work was inspired by Bamiléké masquerades and the Demeure 5 costume by Étienne-Martin, and is made of materials from second-hand shops in Houston. Noah wore the costume during an interactive procession down the Tiger Walk, TSU’s central campus walkway. The costume became part of the exhibition, Memory Palaces: Creations of Franck Kemkeng Noah.
