Drag Queen Story Hour

Presented as part of River To River 2019 in celebration of WorldPride NYC, Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.

WorldPride NYC for All: Workshop on the Street

June 29, 1:30 - 4:30p.m.

House of Trees (HOT) artists Amy, Jennifer, & Noah Khoshbin invite everyone to a special WorldPride Workshop on the Street, where participants are invited to make their own colorful felt creations with phrases and iconography in the form of banners, capes, signs, crowns, sashes, badges or whatever you want! We’ll parade them around Oculus Plaza all the way to the Dyke March happening directly after the event! Workshop on the Street engages the community in social action and encourages a physical artistic response to current political issues surrounding equality and freedom of speech.

While you're busy with your masterpiece, enjoy and dance to music DJed by members of BRUJAS, a feminist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist political organization.
