As local governments escalate attacks on Queer rights, we will bring the art of Drag into everyday life, in a celebratory, accessible form on a roving bicycle stage. We invite Brooklyn community to explore the freedom of Drag with help from our artist team and capture the transformation through photography and an interview about the personal experience.
Dragcycle will travel along the south Brooklyn waterfront starting at 3pm towards Brooklyn Bridge Pier 3 where it will arrive at 6pm for performances and reflection.
No reservations necessary—just show up—but to receive a reminder email, RSVP below
A person in DRAG stands on a colorfully checkered stage supported by 4 pink bicycles. They are wearing a brown dress hat, black sunglasses, white shirt, brown vest and jeans. Behind them is a rack of clothes with a large sign saying DRAG is ART. In the front of the stage between the bicycles is a sign saying DEFEND QUEER RIGHTS. On each side of the sign and resting on the bicycle handlebars are 2 mannequin heads with medium length brilliant yellow and hot neon pink wigs. Both are wearing bright pinks, red and yellow make up and heavy black eyeliner. The bicycle stage rests in a large cement covered waterfront park. In the distance is a line of tall gray and blue buildings surrounding the park.
