The Drag Explosion is an evolving multi-media “slideshow extravaganza” created by New York performer and nightlife personality Linda Simpson. From the underground East Village club scene and the birth of Wigstock in the late 1980s, to the AIDS activism and mainstream drag explosion of the early 1990s heralded by Supermodel of the World RuPaul, Simpson’s snapshots document the flamboyant performances and offstage advocacy of the era’s drag community. Simpson will provide live narration to accompany her photos and host a post-performance Q&A.
Simpson’s performance is presented in collaboration with DL: Los Angeles and held in conjunction with Transgender Hirstory in 99 Objects: Legends and Mythologies, organized by the Museum of Transgender Hirstory & Art, or MOTHA, at ONE Archives. Admission is free. For more information please visit www.onearchives.org. For more information on West Hollywood Arts events please visit www.weho.org/arts.
