Portrait by Cherry Au Hon I
Davy Pittoors is a queer independent curator, visual creative and arts organiser whose practice interrogates ideas of queer belonging and home-making by blurring the lines between art and craft, gallery and home, archive and collection. He leverages more than a decade of applied work in designing immersive and considered experiences to spark curiosity and meaning-making between artists, works and audiences.
He is the founder and executive director of Queeriosities, the UK’s largest queer art fair, that supports emerging queer artists and encourages the spread of both contemporary and historical LGBTQIA+ art, design objects and vernacular ephemera.
Past work includes collaborations with London’s Museum of the Home, the Bob Mizer Foundation, the Charleston Trust and the Hackney Council. He has lectured at London College of Contemporary Arts, University of Westminster and Istituto Marangoni — and his writings can be found in Wallpaper* magazine and in A Great Gay Book: Stories of Growth, Belonging & Other Queer Possibilities.
