Gayliens are an extraterrestrial art entity and lifelong creatives. The Gayliens study atmosphere, desire, and identity through silent performance and physical transmission. Trained beyond language and liberated from binary form, they explore connection through presence, movement, and provocation.
They are core recurring performers at PLANET QUEER, and appearing across the galaxy wherever queer gravity gathers. Their work exists at the intersection of play, love, and disruption.
