Andi Gilker

Andi Gilker is a neurodivergent artist and academic working at the intersection of critical disability studies, sound studies, and visual media. Andi has a BFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University in Montréal, after which she completed a summer residency at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and lived and worked as an expressive portrait painter for many years. Currently, Andi is a Ph.D. candidate at the Cinema Studies Institute at the University of Toronto, where her doctoral thesis focuses on the temporalities of dysfluency. Andi’s creative work spans categories, although, at the present moment, she is working on an experimental documentary on 16 mm about the devastating effects/affects of posthumous taxation on the bereaved.
