Billy Gerard Frank (Grenada)

Billy Gérard Frank (b. 1974) is an artist and ﬁlmmaker whose work explores race, memory, exile, global politics, and queer decoloniality. His mixed-media works and ﬁlms challenge dominant narratives, using speculation to suggest counter-histories. He has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Butler Institute of American Art, Yale, and Frieze London. Representing Grenada at the 2019 and 2022 Venice Biennale, he is a 2024 Creative Capital awardee. Frank co-founded the Nova Frontier Film Festival & Lab and lectures at Yale. He studied studio art in New York and earned an MA in Filmmaking and Media Arts from The New School. Frank’s multidisciplinary practice explores themes of exile, migration, memory, and belonging. Through layered mixed-media works, he reworks imagery from archives, media, and ephemera to contest ﬁxed histories and create new narratives that intertwine personal memory with broader socio-political contexts.
