In the words of drag philosopher Ru Paul, “You are born naked, and everything else is drag.” Inspired by a wide range of historical and contemporary precedents— Marcel Duchamp’s Rose Sélavy, the Pyramid Club, Wigstock, Jackie 60, Squeezebox, and the recent explosion of a new generation of drag with Chez Deep and House of Bushwig—Contemporary Drag features a wide range of intergenerational artists, performers, and cultural figures, and will highlight their engagement with drag as a radical form of art, theater, and politics.
