Noa Vigny Billick (b. 1997, Montreal) is a Jewish Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist who creates books that don't always look like books, but often look Jewish.
Noa is a Jewish book artist reinventing the book form.
Noa Billick (she/her) is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist, designer, and academic. She is a Doctoral Student in the Communications and Culture Ph.D. program at Toronto Metropolitan University. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from OCAD University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Noa explores Jewish communication, ritual, and storytelling through material and craft. Her recent work engages with tradition and personal experience, creating objects that bridge historical practice with contemporary expression, reflecting the modern diasporic Jewish experience. Through hands-on making, she investigates how physical forms carry meaning, memory, and connection across time and place. Noa's projects often highlight the interconnectedness of storytelling and identity, emphasizing the book as a medium through which people share and preserve experiences. She aims to make art accessible and relatable, using humor to address human experiences.
Central to Noa's research and art are themes of Jewishness, storytelling, and the book as a narrative tool for survival and communication. Her Ph.D. research centers on the concept of Jews as people of the book, exploring how Jewish storytelling and communication contribute to cultural endurance.
Noa was raised in Montreal and is a big fan of the Oxford comma. She is on a mission to make the perfect bowl for cereal and soup (specifically matzah ball). She is lactose intolerant and has a cat named Oatmeal, who is also lactose intolerant.
