Billy Gérard Frank born in Grenada, West Indies, is an Artist and Filmmaker whose research-based practice interrogates personal and collective issues related to race, memory, exile, global politics,  post-colonial, and queer decoloniality. His work challenges and deconstructs normative narratives, using speculation and new imagery to suggest counter-histories. His mixed-media artworks and films have been exhibited and screened in group and solo shows at institutions, art fairs, such as the Brooklyn Museum,  Butler Institute of American Art, Yale Unversity, and Frieze London, and are also part of several private collections and institutions, including the National Academy Museum of Fine Arts and Design, the Farnsworth Art Museum, and the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education, among others.

He represented Grenada at the 59th La Biennale di Venezia (2022) and was also part of the collective that represented the island at the 58th La Biennale di Venezia (2019). He is the recipient of numerous grants, including support from the Ford Foundation, and is a 2024 Creative Capital awardee.

Frank is also the co-founder of the Nova Frontier Film Festival & Lab, which showcases and incubates the work of filmmakers and artists from and about the Global African Diaspora, the Middle East, and Latin America. He is a Lecturer in Directing and Design at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and has lectured at institutions such as NYU, the School of Visual Arts, and York University.

He moved to London as a teenager, where he began painting and exploring experimental video art and installation before relocating to New York to pursue further studies in studio art at ateliers such as The Art Students League of New York and The National Academy of Fine Arts. He later earned an MA in filmmaking and media arts at The New School for Social Research.
