Storm Bookhard

Emerging Curators

Storm Bookhard is writer, curator, and scholar of visual culture based in Los Angeles, California. Her practice centers how artists of color and other marginalized practitioners are inscribed within archival, museological, and institutional histories. This work has included conducting research for the Getty Research Institute’s (GRI) feminist performance art initiative, authoring artist biographies for the Archives of Women Artists, Research, and Exhibitions (AWARE), and programming immersive performance artworks in Southern California. Bookhard also served as a collaborator on the first Los Angeles institutional exhibition highlighting the Guerrilla Girls’ 40 years of activist interventions which will open in the fall of 2025 at the GRI.

She has held positions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and David Zwirner (New York) in addition to several other art institutions. Her research has been supported by the Mellon Foundation, the Getty Foundation, and published by Harvard University Press and the Boston Art Review (forthcoming, 2025).

Bookhard holds a BFA in Fine Art (2022) as well as an MA in Curatorial Practices and the Public Sphere (2023) from the University of Southern California. She is currently the Project Manager and Curatorial Director of GÄ’R Collective, a performance art collaborative, as well as a Gallery Assistant at Regen Projects.
