This free
exhibition features the work of more than 30 artists who have used drag to
explore or question identity, gender, class and politics, from the 1960s to the
present day.
Alongside
key figures such as Pierre Molinier, VALIE EXPORT, Robert Mapplethorpe and
Cindy Sherman, the exhibition also includes self-portraits by a younger
generation of contemporary artists who have recently embraced drag as an art
form, including Adam Christensen and Victoria Sin.
Rather than
offering a linear or chronological narrative, this exhibition aims to present a
multitude of voices that explore cultural shifts of the past 50 years and touch
on topics that include the 1980s AIDS crisis and post-colonial theory.
Focused on
photography but spanning a variety of other media, DRAG is accompanied by a
programme of tours led by drag performers.
