Statements/Bios in Artists’ Words:
My name is Sargylana.
In Sakha language my name means “happiness”. I’m a game designer and an interdisciplinary Sakha artist that creates videogames as a form of art.
Sakha people are Indigenous to Sakha Republic, located in North-East-Siberian part of russia.
My art practice is mainly focused on creating videogame prototypes with the decolonial focus in various game engines.
I dream that Sakha Republic could become free.
