Dred), and Taylor Mac (plus special surprise appearances) this trans-generational congress, moderated by drag historian Joe E. Jeffreys, reflects on the legacy of drag in the city as it considers its changing faces, places, fashions and future. A multi-media discussion, performance event, installation and exhibit exploring male and female impersonation in New York City, the gathered audience will constitute a living history of drag performance in NYC and further extend the panel’s discussion and reflections.
