Shori Sims (b. Baltimore) is a multidisciplinary artist and educator currently based in Birmingham, AL. Utilizing performance and new media, Shori foregrounds digital tools in the exploration of the complex nature of identity as amorphous and ever-changing, and virtual space as a container of memory. Driven by their investigations into the archive, Sims’ videos and installations approach virtual space as both embodied and formless. They maintain a research and writing forward practice with scholarly interests in linguistics, symbology, and film theory. Sims graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with their MFA in Sculpture in 2024, and exhibitions of their video and moving-image work have taken place at april april gallery in Pittsburgh, NADA LES in New York City, and Vox Populi in Philadelphia. Solo exhibitions of Shori’s work have taken place in Pittsburgh and Birmingham at Gallery 707 and the Old Bailey respectively, and sites of institutional exhibitions include Northern Michigan University’s DeVos Museum and the Gadsden Museum of Art. Shori’s written works are held by libraries including the Brown University Library, and in various institutional archives.
