Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui (b. 2001; Sikkim) is a Mauritian-Sikkimese filmmaker, photographer, and visual artist whose work delves into the intersections of identity, memory, and belonging. They live and work between Brooklyn, NY, and Sikkim, India.
Drawing from their lived experiences as a migrant navigating the complexities of home, cultural dislocation, and gender identity, their art explores themes of diasporic melancholia, repressed identity, and spiritual reconnection. Through analog photography and experimental fiction film, they create emotionally resonant pieces that reflect the fluidity of both gender and cultural belonging.
Their work, has been screened at NFFTY, CineYouth Film Festival, Red Dirt Film Festival, GRRL Haus Cinema (Winner - New England Local Filmmaker Award), Massachusetts Independent Film Festival (Winner - Best Worcester County Short Film) as well as been exhibited at ArtsWorcester, A.P.E.
