Kim V. Goldsmith is a interdisciplinary artist and creative producer based on Wiradjuri Country on the Western Plains of New South Wales. Since 2008, her creative practice encompasses community engagement, field-recorded sound, video, installation, story-gathering, writing, and community engagement. Focused on relationship building and directed by an evolution of process responding to the environments she works in, Kim tackles the challenging environmental issues faced by rural, regional and remote communities. Her work is an exploration of the many layers of nuance and complexity within the territories across which she works, seeking the hidden elements that make them vibrate.
Through field-based exploration, observation, documentation, collaboration, and creativity, Kim aims to present rural, regional and remote landscapes and communities (human and more-than-human) in ways that make the familiar, unfamiliar. She uses written, verbal and non-verbal storytelling to tease out narratives of connection and give a voice to the voiceless. Her individual and collaborative works are presented across Australia and internationally in festivals, exhibitions, public events, and online platforms. Kim is the founder and lead artist of ecoPULSE.art and sister site, arboreus.earth.

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands of the Wiradjuri Nation on which I live, as well as the lands of other First Nations peoples across which I work, both in Australia and internationally. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and recognise that sovereignty in Australia was never ceded and that it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
