In a world where gender expression is often policed, drag serves as a bold and unapologetic act of resistance, creativity, and empowerment. This panel explores how drag artists across the globe are using their platforms to challenge norms, push boundaries, and take a stand for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. From the runways to the streets, drag is not just an art form—it's a movement. Join us as we dive into the ways drag culture confronts issues of systemic oppression, celebrates identity, and sparks critical conversations on race, class, and queerness. Get ready to be inspired, energized, and reminded that the revolution will always be fabulous.
