Queeriosities, the UK’s largest queer art and makers fair, returns to London for its 2025 edition on September 26–28, showcasing the work of more than 60 LGBTQIA+ artists, makers and small businesses at Copeland Gallery in Peckham, London.  Founded and led by curator Davy Pittoors, Queeriosities is a travelling platform that elevates LGBTQIA+ creatives expressing their identities through art, craft, and design. From hand-thrown ceramics to contemporary painting, printed ephemera and collectable design, the fair offers a window into queer creativity today — with everything made by LGBTQIA+ artists themselves

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.

Alongside our vibrant marketplace of vendors, this year’s edition also features a weekend of cultural programming and our special group exhibition, We Come to This Place for Magic, exploring queer world-building and showcasing the work of Devynn Barnes, Lawrence Cuevas, Theo Dunne, Paul Majek, Krzysztof Strzelecki, and Marf Summers. The. exhibition explores queer world-building as both refuge and resistance — a way to imagine, construct, and inhabit new possibilities at a time when the world feels increasingly unstable andhostile to queer identities. The artists’ practices span installation, painting, ceramics and. performance — offering intimate, otherworldly reflections on queer life today.

Queerguru has chosen  to feature two of the artists who will be participating : 

Krishna Shanthi is a designer, artist, contemporary arts curator and critical & theoretical lecturer based in London. He uses graphic design, research and criticism to visually communicate ideas of everyday human experience (in and out of linear perspective) and cultural sustainability. In his visual art, he creates representation of hybrid identities through mixing concepts and materials relating to Hindu epics and myths, comic-book superheroes and Disney princesses; images and text intertwine to narrate a collection of diverse cultural references. He creates illustrations, collages, screen and Intaglio prints. He designs for books, magazines, posters, letters, marketing materials and websites. He mixes commissions with self-initiated projects.
