What is a drag king? Why would someone want to be one? How many ways are there to be a drag king? In this panel, watch queer art-makers and occasional kings Tan Liting (a.k.a. Southside Tingles) and Stephanie Chan (a.k.a. Aloysius D) discuss drag while getting into drag king makeup.

They will be talking about what drag means to them, the appeal and transgressive power of performing masculinity onstage, and how drag king culture creates safe spaces and identities for queer people while challenging gender norms, and some of their favourite drag kings, among many other things. This will be followed by a live Q&A session.
