Sille Storihle is an artist and educator based in Oslo, working primarily with moving images and printed matter. Their artistic practice encompasses a body of work in dialogue with queer archives and pasts, exploring relationships between power and performativity. Their current research and work focuses on live action role-playing games (LARP) as an artistic methodology in the production of moving images. They are currently a fellow at Atelier Kunstnerforbundet (2020–23) and working on a large commission for the 400th anniversary of the city of Oslo in 2024.

From 2012 to 2020, Storihle ran the queer-feminist platform FRANK together with Liv Bugge. The platform originated as a salon, which developed into a wide range of projects in different locations with various co-curators. In 2021, the platform published a book, edited by Storihle, archiving the life of FRANK. The monograph, like all FRANK publications, is distributed by Torpedo Press.
