Tobey Katt (they) is a white, trans* documentarian, interdisciplinary artist, community arts organizer, and maker of gay objects.

Their work explores the intimacies of debauchery and mourning, holding queerness and play at the center as sites of power and compassion. Often in collaboration, they experiment in pursuit of fellowship; using alternative photographic processes, strange little paintings, eulogies, and participatory performance. These gestures suggest that grief and joy are not in conflict, but bound together. Each giving shape to the other.  

Tobey received a BA in Sculpture from Towson University, and is a co-facilitator for The School of the Alternative, a radical arts school in Black Mountain North Carolina. You can find them at their most disguised during the annual Mummers parade, where they preform rituals of public resistance, in pursuit of JOY, as part of the Vaudevillians New Years Brigade. 

They are based in gorgeous Western Maine, but are forever grateful to be from Baltimore Maryland.
