Storm Bookhard (b. 1999, NYC) is a curator, writer, and intermedia artist based in Los Angeles. Her practice centers how artists of color and other marginalized practitioners are inscribed within archives, visual culture, and post-internet media networks. She has assisted with exhibitions for the Getty Research Institute’s (GRI) Expanding the Study of Performance in Women Artists' Archives initiative and conducted curatorial research on 20th century photography in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Marjorie and Leonard Vernon Collection.
Her curatorial projects have traversed diasporic legacies of craft, durational performance, and time based media. Her forthcoming exhibition, Flip It & Reverse It: Spectacles of Blackness in Popular Media investigates the harmful cycles of Black hypervisibility in popular culture.
Storm has held positions across the arts sector including roles at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Research Institute, David Zwirner, and Regen Projects. Her writing has been published by the Archives of Women Artists, Research, and Exhibitions (AWARE), the Boston Art Review, and Harvard University Press. Her research has been supported by the Mellon Foundation and she is the 2025 VisArts Emerging Curator.
Storm holds a B.F.A in Fine Art (2022) as well as an MA in Curatorial Practice and the Public Sphere (2023) from the University of Southern California.
