Rhea Storr
Rhea Storr makes films that consider Black, mixed-race and diaspora cultures, including her own Bahamian-British ethnicity. She explores the in-between, translation, format and aesthetics, that depict themes such as masquerade, the performances of Black women, community space, and racialised subjects in rural or public landscapes. She has a long standing interest in the counter-cultural use of analogue film, embracing DIY practices and alternative spaces in order to depict Caribbean subjects who are themselves also marginalised.
She is the winner of the Aesthetica Art Prize 2020, the inaugural Louis Le Prince Experimental Film Prize, the Royal Photographic Society Award for Creative Contribution to Art in Moving Image 2023, the Kodak Award at Hamburg International Film Festival 2025 and runner up Best British Short at London Short Film Festival 2025. Recent screenings include: MoMA Doc Fortnight; New York Film Festival; BFI London Film Festival; CPH:DOX; Filmforum MOCA Los Angeles; Berwick Film and Media Artist Festival; European Media Art Festival; Kassel Doc Fest and Videonale, Kunstmuseum Bonn. Solo/two person shows include: Subjects of State, Labours of Love, Site Gallery/Wolverhampton Art Gallery/Primary Nottingham, Sheffield/Wolverhampton/Nottingham, 2025; Through a Shimmering Prism, We Made a Way, South Kiosk, London, 2021; For the Record, (Phanuel Antwi and Rhea Storr), Transmediale, Berlin, 2021.
