Visit a gay bar in New York, Los Angeles, or even Nashville on a random weeknight and you might stumble onto a drag performance. In San Francisco, by contrast, drag is more deliberate — highly advertised, less spontaneous, and concentrated in only a few venues.

What can the community do to make this iconic subculture more abundant here? And how can we foster a greater diversity of drag expression in the city?

Join Unspeakable Vice’s Shawn Sprockett and a slate of local luminaries as they explore the past, present, and future of drag in San Francisco — and discuss how queer art can be better supported by the queer community.

Speakers

MODERATOR: Shawn Sprockett (he/him) is an Adjunct Professor at the California College of Arts in the graduate Interaction Design program, where he teaches visual design and creative thinking. He started developing Unspeakable Vice, a volunteer-based queer history walking tour project, in 2018. The project explores lesser known stories of LGBTQ San Francisco, particularly the influence of People of Color and women in the development of queer culture and activism.
