Beyond the Archives: Latine Drag History in Washington, DC

Transforming lives through the power of the humanities!

HumanitiesDC

Join HumanitiesDC and community leaders in learning about Latine Drag’s vibrant history and culture in the nation’s capital.

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library

Latine Drag has vibrant history and culture in the nation’s capital! Community leaders José Gutiérrez, Mari Con Carne, and Alexa Rodríguez, will explore that history, guided by program curator and HumanitiesDC District Fellow, Carolina Fuentes. The event, part panel and part oral history, will offer space for the three community leaders to recount their stories about the evolution of Drag as they have witnessed it. Gutiérrez will illuminate the history of DC’s LGBTQ+ community, Rodríguez will discuss her activist work for the trans community and people living with HIV, finally Mari Con Carne will share stories from their own experiences in Drag and advocacy work and will conclude the program with a special performance. Fuentes will moderate the discussion and there will be ample time for audience Q&amp;A. Join us for a conversation on Monday, October 21st, at 6 pm at MLK Library in the New Books area (first floor). ASL and English to Spanish Interpretation Services will be available. Cover Picture Credit: José Gutiérrez Archives
