A Drag Portal on the Edge of Now

If I Hold You Like This was an energetic portal located at the base of the gorgeous stadium-esque grassy hill of Irving Park. This show created a container to guide our queer community tenderly, safely, and supportively into a new world, through the content of the art itself, and as a generative experiment in a radically different approach to creating a community drag space.
