Photograph of Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui

Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui (b. 2001) or Gyani Wasp, is a non-binary filmmaker, photographer and visual artist born and raised in Sikkim, India and Mauritius. At the age of 15 they left their friends and family in Sikkim to study in the United States. As they grew into adulthood away from home, they also gradually began to experience an untethering from their cultural roots and the notable absence of something intangible when they did return. Their work in both film and photography has been shaped by this, dealing with the themes of liminal anguish and diasporic melancholia. Each piece is an attempt to synthesize their relationship with the places they have called home and the soil under their feet. They attended Clark University, Worcester, MA, where they received their Bachelor in Arts in Screen Studies and they currently work as a freelance filmmaker based in Worcester.
