Drag king Bobby Pudrido (aka Jay Thomas) talks about their process for creating their drag persona and performances. They'll also share about their practice producing, emceeing, and collaborating on drag events in Austin to showcase BIPOC, trans, alternative, and community-driven artists.

As a dyke, trans, nonbinary, latine, drag king and person most affected by the patriarchy, they share how media has replicated harmful misogynistic norms within the drag community, and the importance of creating alternative spaces for folks in the furthest outskirts of society.

This event was created for the CATS+ Spring 2024 Residency.
