Introducing: Drag Me Philly!

Over the past two years, Beyond the Bell Tours has been collaborating with the Drag Arts Oral History Project to create a digital archive of interviews of Philadelphia drag artists.

In the last year, we’ve been working to highlight excerpts of these interviews, interweave them with archival information from the William Way Center and place these stories throughout the Gayborhood to highlight and celebrate the drag arts.

Wilfredo Hernandez has been our collaborator in this project over the last year and can be spotted around the Gayborhood workshopping the tour.

This project was made possible by The Lepage Center at Villanova University.

Additional support was from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.

This project was also supported by the Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender History.
