DDGAY - Dutch Design Week 2017
Co-curation for the first edition of DDGAY at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven.
Eindhoven residents Brendan de Vos and Bas Berends organized DDGay during the Dutch Design Week to offer that stage to artists who are not so "static and obedient". They thought it was time for homosexuality in its full spectrum to get a place at the DDW and want to "make things like dildos, butt fucking, gender fuck, drag queens, and 'generally not belonging' visible and accessible".
In the first edition of the DDGay Pavilion, this was done by lowering the threshold with events such as a queer bingo, drag queen readings, a 'tupperware party', film screenings and an exhibition of LGBTQIA artists.
DayDayGay has grown into an independant all-year-long organisation based in Eindhoven (NL).
