(they/them) Gylanni is a queer non-binary artist from pre-gentrified Brooklyn. An interdisciplinary artist, Gylanni is adept in theatrical design, installations, and creative direction. They specialize in immersive theatrical experiences that allow audience members to become participants, shifting the traditional theatrical experience from voyeuristic to collectively focused. Gylanni loves new work, and projects that are weird, experimental, and concept-heavy with challenging design elements. An authority on aesthetics, they value performance art pieces that are a feast for the eyes. Gylanni has a B.A. in Theatre/Gender, Literature, and the Arts from Hunter College, where they studied the impact and influence of art on society. They believe the future of art lies in diverse storytelling and prioritizes works that are inclusive and accessible. Gylanni is an abolitionist and knows that the art they wish to make can only be made possible in a liberated world. Unsettling (Park Avenue Armory), A Landfill/Sacred Ground (A.R.T.
