Lady Kitt is a disabled artist and drag king based in the UK. Describing their work as “Mess making as social glue, driven by insatiably curiosity about the social functions of art” Kitt works on long term, collaborative projects around the themes of care, pleasure and justice. Projects are punctuated by the creation of large-scale, vibrant installations made from recycled paper, reused plastics and raw clay. The artist calls these works folk-art shrines.

Other things that have happened as part of Kitt’s work are:
· Giant origami boat races (“Conny Festival” 2019)
· Policy changes (“enSHRINE Project” 2020-on )
· An international, ecofeminist art magazine for, and by, children (“(small but) FIERCE” 2018-on)

Kitt is a trustee Crafts Council and founding member of disabled artist led “kin collective” (North East Culture Awards winner 2022). Kitt’s work has been longlisted for the 2023 Aesthetica Art Prize, shown at Atlanta Contemporary (USA), Saatchi Gallery (UK), National Centre on Restorative Justice (USA) and commissioned by Craftspace (“Drag Declares Emergency” 2022-23), Arts&Heritage (“This, our hive of voices” 2020-22) and BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art (‘Open.
