Drag Queens Slay at ABFAB DRAG in Cape Town 🏳️🌈
I was reminded once again of the undeniable importance of drag shows, drag queens and artists, and queer culture in our society, specifically in Cape Town and South Africa. Drag shows are so much more than just entertainment; they are a platform for artists to showcase their unique talents and tell their stories.
The performers who graced the stage tonight at Artscape were incredible. These artists are not only entertainers; they are storytellers, pushing the boundaries of gender norms and societal expectations. In a world that often seeks to silence queer and trans voices, drag shows offer a powerful counter-narrative. They challenge preconceived notions of identity, sparking conversations about gender, sexuality, and the fluidity of self-expression.
As a filmmaker and human rights activist, the significance of creating spaces where queer voices can be heard and celebrated is so important. Drag shows serve as a beacon of hope for those who may feel unseen or unheard in a world that often marginalises them.
