WHAT WE DO

Drag as Resistance is a welcoming, accessible 2-hour drag workshop that takes participants on a journey from reflecting on the challenges we face as refugees and migrants to creating a drag persona inspired by their resilience, imagination and joy. The workshop culminates in a celebratory catwalk, where everyone has the chance to step into their new persona and shine.

Through a series of movement exercises, costume and make-up choices, and a celebratory catwalk, participants create unique drag personas that reflect their experiences, strengths and hopes.

The workshop supports wellbeing, creative expression and community building, offering participants a breathing space to explore identity, build confidence and foster a sense of collective resilience.

EMPOWERING!!!
SO COOL!
Drag performance in the community was amazing
The outcomes were self-acceptance, desire to participate more in similar events and develop creativity
This helped me feel a greater sense of freedom, self-acceptance, and connection to the community.
I’m now walking confidently. I clearly discovered my own drag
