Communication Can Be a . . . Drag

Experience the performance of gender through a spectrum of drag culture.

This opening session of the Radcliffe Institute conference “Beyond Words: Gender and the Aesthetics of Communication” will include live drag acts, clips from the award-winning documentary Kings, Queens, & In-Betweens, and a discussion with the makers of the film.

Together, artists and audience will explore questions of gender performance, identity, and expression; examine cultural assumptions; and witness real-time drag transformations.

ASL interpretation will be available for those in attendance.
