CLAUDIA ROCHA’S POSTER
This image is called Blue Staircase and is a portrait of Annie Pics, part of a series called In the eyes of Queens and Kings. This project starts by leaving the stage and the spotlights and entering the private sphere of the artist, looking for details that reflect who they might be. It tells a story of the artist in their home, with no disruption, as it is. And explores different ways that drag can be a tool to explore (self)Identity, push the boundaries of gender or express creativity. It supports the LGBTQ+ community, the acceptance and inclusion of trans drag artists and brings attention to the diversity of London’s drag community, both Queens and Kings.
