dc.description.abstract | Kurzawa, 2 Abstract Femmes Front and Center is a visual and textual inquiry into the dynamics of queer femme performers within the queer community. Visually, Femmes: Front and Center brings the viewer face to face with queer femme performers through large scale, color photographs framed in classic, exhibition style. The exhibit reveals the intersections of gender identity, queerness, body size, race, and dis/ability. Femmes Front and Center, the written work, explores the history of queer performance culture from gay men and drag queens to drag kings to queer femme drag queens. It theorizes that queer femme performers and dis/abled queer femmes are disrupting existing paradigms of drag performance, gender identity, and body acceptance. | en_US |
