“Drag is revolution personified. It’s a conspicuous illustration of what total human liberation would look like. It’s a creative defiance of every social construct that limits, confines or represses humanity.”

Join us Friday June 21st as we celebrate PRIDE, JUNETEENTH and the art of Drag with a special screening of THE QUEEN VS TEXAS: a new documentary short plus a live showcase of local and Texas talent.

About the Film:

Amidst an unsettling trend, Texas lawmakers target drag shows and queer communities with their proposed anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation. At the heart of the film lies ‘Vanguard: The Drag Revolution,’ a BIPOC drag show curated and hosted by queer activist Hermajestie the Hung. Within this empowering setting, the marginalized find solace and come together to dismantle the systems of oppression that encroach upon their fundamental human rights. Through the lens of Hermajestie’s story, ‘The Queen Vs. Texas’ is an exploration of the intersectionality between identity, activism, and creativity. Directed by Emil Lozada & Raemonn James.

Live Drag Show Featuring:

Solangerie, Luna Delyte, Sha’Nyia Ellis Narcisse and “The Legs of Texas”, Ms. Amber Nicole Davenport

Hosted by Hermajestie The Hung
