Artist Moving Image Commission 2024 - Kialy Tihngang
Too Happy Studios is delighted to announce that Kialy Tihngang is the recipient of the 2024 Artist Moving Image Commission.
Kialy’s short film will be produced by Glasgow production company Forest of Black and shot in our studio later this year. The completed work will premiere at Glasgow Short Film Festival 2025.
Kialy Tihngang works in video, sculpture, textiles, animation and photomontage, typically involving elaborate sets, costumes, graphics, props, and collaborations with performers and musicians. Combining the dark humour of Nollywood with the aesthetics of retrofuturism and the visual language of Western mass media, Tihngang explores Blackness, queerness, Britishness, and the crushing structural oppressions surrounding these identities, through reimagined histories and speculated futures.
