Chloe Zimmerman is an artist, filmmaker, writer and educator working with analogue film, video, installation, drawing, language arts and pedagogical experiments. Her studio practice is interdisciplinary across media and modes of knowing, and centers collaborative learning and making. She teaches creative practices in spaces that have included a community biology lab, a floating food forest, public libraries and parks, museums, multilingual learner spaces, community centers, and alternative art schools and universities (including Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design).

Chloe founded and facilitated the Mycological Research Playgroup, a research group for artists to learn about and with fungi, and Meshwork, a study group for poets and scholars with a focus on correspondence, entanglement and relational outcomes. Her films have screened via the Criterion Channel, UnionDocs, Anthology Film Archives, the Poetry Project and MoMA PS1, among other venues. She programs ESSAI, an event series that brings together experimental film and live poetry readings around shared themes and strategies. Chloe is a trained dialogue facilitator and engaged in ongoing explorations of holding space for diverse ways of gathering, learning and making in community.
