G L O W Z I (they/them), born Gloria-Sherryl François, is an archivist and interdisciplinary artist whose work reaches through time and space. Born in Tiotià:ke/Mooniyang (Montreal) to Ayisyen immigrants, G L O W Z I has spent their life immersed in Ayiti’s diasporic culture as they developed an imaginative language and archival practice – a space for multi-media explorations of kindred sounds, scenes and textures.
An ancestor in training, the kinships and Black feminist ethos that shape their daily life are evident in all that they create. From art direction to painting, from graphic design to vinyl mixing passing by original music production, to witness G L O W Z I’s work is to be transported to a place of connection, finding yourself held by the lineage that holds them.
While under the collaborative banner of Zandoli II, G L O W Z I also produced an official remix of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s “Blue Morpho”.
