Drag is a radical act of self-expression – same goes for Deaf LGBTQIA+ individuals, whose language embodies visual expression. There’s records of Deaf drag queens in Australia from the 1950s – but representation ‘dimmed’ in the last few decades, say the Deaf Drag Divas.
“We want to relight the flame, reuniting our community…”Reclaiming Our Spotlight isn’t just entertainment; it’s about empowerment, celebration of the intersection of Deafness and queerness, and creating a more diverse queer culture.
