About Queeriosities
Founded and led by curator Davy Pittoors, Queeriosities is a travelling platform that elevates LGBTQIA+ creatives expressing their identities through art, craft, and design. Ranging from intimate exhibitions to full-scale art and makers fairs, our initiatives highlight those who have been historically sidelined and serve as a platform to knit our communities together and connect them with new audiences.
We encourage the spread of both contemporary and historical LGBTQIA+ objects, art, and ephemera – and we aim to blur the lines between art and craft, museum and home, and archive and collection to open up new space for queer perspectives.
Zero Tolerance for Discrimination: Queeriosities is a space of care and solidarity. We have a strict zero tolerance policy for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, body shaming or any other form of discrimination or harassment. These behaviours will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the fair.
