BIO

Matt Storm is a photo-based artist, making photographs, performances, installations and sculptures in Washington, D.C. Storm’s work engages with the theme of identity, and the question “who are we, and how do we know?” He approaches this question through self-portraiture, and visual topics including transgender and queer issues, family, and community.

Storm is a 2020 recipient of the Arts & Humanities Fellowship from Washington D.C.’s Commission on the Arts & Humanities. He serves as Chair of the Pride Caucus of the Society for Photographic Education.

In 2019, as part of May is All About Trans, Storm curated a show of entirely artists from the DC area who identify as transgender, non-binary, two spirit, agender, and genderfluid. This show was on view for six weeks in Washington, D.C., and received much acclaim in D.C.’s transgender community.

Storm grew up in New Jersey. He attended Dartmouth College, and majored in Studio Art, receiving the Perspectives on Design Award, the top merit award for art majors. He also transitioned to living as a transgender masculine person during this time. Storm has worked at the Marpha Foundation in Nepal, Dartmouth College’s studio art department, and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA.
