Kimberly Stokes is an emerging artist and designer living on Yugambeh Country/ Gold Coast, whose practice explores concepts of identity and digital culture. Her interest lies at the intersections between social networking, performativity and the digital photograph; with a particular focus on self-portraiture.
In 2022, Kimberly founded THE GOLDY, an online art event calendar and artist directory for the Gold Coast, Australia. She is also an acting Co-Director of NEXTDOOR Artist Run Initiative; a not-for-profit organisation that exists to champion the experimental practices of emerging artists, based in Brisbane.
