“We attempted to unravel the phenomenon of a ‘Drag-queen Show’ and explore its place in contemporary pop culture by attending one of the grand events titled ‘Send in the Clowns’ at De Studio. This art center is soon to host the significant ‘Antwerpen Queers Arts Festival’ on August 10-11, 2023.

I invite you to join me!.”
