Amy Kingsmill – Light Source

Amy Kingsmill

Amy Kingsmill is a radical queer performance artist. Her work focuses on transformation and transcendence, combining beauty with arrestingly visceral actions. She produces minimalist, pain-based ritualistic performance exploring inherently feminist themes.

Since graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2013, Amy has performed internationally including SPILL Festival of Performance (2014), Franko B’s Untouchables (2015), Karachi Biennale (2017), Tempting Failure International Biennale of Performance Art & Noise (2018), Cite Des Artes (Paris, 2019), LAST Projects (Los Angeles, 2019). She has performed with Rhiannon Aarons in Los Angeles (2019), and with Rhiannon Aarons and Sheree Rose in London and Los Angeles (2015). She participated in Bruce La Bruce’s film The Visitor (2024), which premiered at Berlinale, and performed in London at A/POLITICAL 2023 as part of The Visitor exhibition as ‘The Mother’. Her project Light Source has been presented at Colchester Arts Centre (2022) and the British Library (2023).
