“Legends of Drag” Legends of San Francisco Opening Party (Tenderloin Museum)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Tenderloin Museum presents Legends of San Francisco, an exhibition of photos and florals celebrating the local drag queen elders featured in Legends of Drag, a photography book and archive of living drag history that “give the girls their flowers.”

Legends of Drag is an archive of living drag history, featuring portraits and stories from drag queen elders in cities across the country. Artists Harry James Hanson, Devin Antheus, and Deb Leal began the project in the spring of 2018. It has grown to include 81 queens in 16 cities. Those portraits were published as Legends of Drag: Queens of A Certain Age in May 2022, from Abrams Books. Legends of San Francisco spotlights our local models, in the city where it all began.

Knowing all of the queens involved, rest assured this opening party will be the stuff of legends!
