Event Description
About the Event
Step into the bold and creative world of drag, where artistry and activism collide. This program spotlights four exceptional drag performers, Evry Pleasure (she/her in drag; he/him out of drag), Sweet Pickles (she/they in drag), King Molasses (they/them in and out of drag), and Citrine the Queen (she/her in drag), who use their craft to challenge societal norms, foster inclusive communities, and redefine artistic expression.
Through a dynamic conversation moderated by Tyler Cargill, the performers share their perspectives on drag’s transformative power to disrupt conventional ideas of gender and identity. They also discuss the role of drag in building connections and creating spaces of belonging, particularly within the LGBTQIA+ community. The conversation highlights drag as a multifaceted art form that weaves together elements of fashion, makeup, performance, and storytelling, showcasing its power to inspire and connect.
Following the discussion, attendees are invited to a salon-style cocktail hour to continue the conversation. The evening will conclude with performances by each artist, celebrating drag as a vibrant expression of individuality, creativity, and community.
