About this Event
TICKETS: https://www.highwaysperformance.org/events/dacity-trans-form-drag-as-body-archive-and-protest
A two-part performance gathering that approaches drag as a cultural practice, an embodied inquiry, and a living record of trans and queer life. Rather than positioning Drag as spectacle alone, the event frames it as a method — a way to hold memory, to trouble fixed ideas of gender, and to author new ways of being seen
The evening begins with a moderated conversation with featuring award-winning guest Pickle the Drag Queen, artists whose work traverses performance, politics, and community life.
What follows is a sequence of performances by emerging trans and queer artists working acrossritual, movement, spoken word, and experimental drag. Each artist responds to the notion of the “trans form” — transformation understood as process rather than destination.
Reach LA and The Sidewalk Project will table throughout the event, grounding the evening in material networks of care and advocacy.
In recognition that trans people are disproportionately impacted by homelessness and housing insecurity, a portion of ticket proceeds will be directed to The Sidewalk Project to support their ongoing, street-level work with unhoused and marginalized communities.
