© Felix Speller for the Design Museum

Tory Turk is an exhibition curator, specialising in style and popular culture, and co-founder of HYMAG, ‘The World’s Largest Magazine Collection’. 

In 2021 Tory curated No Comply at Somerset House, an exhibition that explored the phenomenon of skateboarding and its influence on culture and communities over the past 40 years. She is also the associate curator on the Design Museum's current exhibition SKATEBOARD where she worked with skateboarder and industrial designer Jonathan Olivares on the first major UK exhibition to map the design evolution of the skateboard from the 1950s to today.

The experience of working on two very different skateboard exhibitions has contributed to Tory’s ongoing interest in developing specialist curatorial practices to preserve, exhibit and celebrate subcultural history. Tory will discuss the development of both exhibitions and their greater purpose and impact on documenting and displaying ‘living’ histories like skateboarding.
