Artist Statement
In 2017, a post-performance kebab for three Sydney drag stars (Ivy League, Coco Jumbo and Vybe), ended in an altercation as the queens intervened in a gay-bashing. Drag queens often take on the role of protectors for the LGBTQIA+ community, but in this case, they saved the life of Ivan Finn. Told through the eyes of Coco Jumbo, this body of work marks another moment in history when drag queens led the way.
