Long Live Kings

| June 22, 1pm | SUM gallery | Free |
Long Live Kings is a multi-episode series that puts a much needed spotlight on the vibrant Drag King scene on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples (aka Vancouver). Created as a response to the isolation Drag Kings often experience within drag spaces, this series uplifts the artistry and resilience of this art form with humour, heart, and fierce performance. Situated in the comfort of SUM gallery, this special screening of Long Live Kings offers a glimpse into a powerful community that has always existed—challenging norms, redefining drag, and making space on their own terms. Made by Drag Kings, Trans people, and Queers—FOR Drag Kings, Trans people, and Queers!
This screening is free but due to limited space registration is recommended.
