Briefly

"A place of exploration": Queeriosities is the annual makers fair centring queer art
""Some double down, making sure their perspectives aren't lost. Others step away from their practice to focus on direct activism. All need space for self care and for community care," says Davy."
""That dual focus - fair and exhibition, commerce and conversation - is what makes it distinct, and what excites me about its future.""
""Queeriosities is built to be a place of exploration," Davy concludes, "and my hope is that people arrive ready to wander - and leave with new connections, new perspectives, and a renewed sense of belonging.""
Community is essential during frightening times, especially for trans and non-binary people. Some community members intensify public-facing creative practice while others move from artistic practice toward direct activism; all require space for self-care and community care. Queeriosities functions as both a marketplace and a platform, serving as a safe space to exhale while combining exhibition and commerce with conversation. Operations are interdisciplinary and focused on care and hospitality, serving diverse needs and interests. The fair places queer art at the centre of exploration, travels nomadically to champion inclusivity across place, identity, and belonging, and showcases a mix of new and familiar projects to keep the fair alive.
