This tour weaves oral history interviews from the Drag Arts Oral History Project with archival information from the William Way Center Archives (John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives) and places these stories throughout the Gayborhood to highlight and celebrate the drag arts.
This tour is a collaboration with the Drag Arts Oral History Project. Beyond the Bell has been assisting the DAOHP in creating a digital archive of interviews with Philadelphia drag artists over the last two years. With a collection of 20 interviews (and growing), we are proud to continue to collaborate with Wilfredo Hernandez on the Drag Me Philly Tour.
