Amateur Drag Night

Join us for a fun night of self expression and pageantry as we explore the culture of drag! During this workshop we’ll discuss drag history (with special shout outs to the Appalachian region) and gender performance as well as offer an opportunity for attendees to create their own persona with available clothing. Participants are encouraged to bring their own make-up or clothing to really level up their look and are welcome to perform to music or through spoken word.

This is a free event, but please RSVP by reserving a ticket to help us prepare for a stellar night.

About the Artist:

Isai Soto is a Mexican-born American artist from Fallbrook, California, just north of San Diego. After receiving a BA in Anthropology from Columbia University, he pursued a career in the arts which is informed by his interest in autoethnography. His work as a graphic designer and printmaker influences his approach to artmaking, emphasizing reproducible methods. His navigation of identity reflects a negotiation of truth. He explores these ideas via drag performance and costume. He has exhibited at Manhattan Graphics Center, the Brooklyn Public Library, Macaulay Honors College, and Berry Campbell Gallery, and has performed at several nightclubs in New York City. He works from his home in Brooklyn, New York.
