Celebrate ORGULLO’s 2021 Festival explores the ART of ILUSIÓN – How the Art of Drag, Creativity, Talent and self-Expression influence our daily lives

The history of drag queens is an evolution from a common theatre practice to an award-winning form of entertainment that has gained legitimacy both on a national and international stage.

The first person to describe himself as "the queen of drag" in the U.S. was William Dorsey Swann, born enslaved in Hancock, Maryland, who in the 1880s started also hosting drag balls in Washington, DC attended by other men who were former slaves, and often raided by the police, as documented in the newspapers.

Drag as an art form has exploded largely thanks to the life and career of RuPaul Andre Charles — arguably the most famous drag queen in the world today. RuPaul's current claim-to-fame is his tenure as the host and face of the reality TV show RuPaul's Drag Race which has changed the history of drag.
