SUMMARY:Being Queen is My Resistance: Lessons in Drag Mythology and Migrati
 on
DESCRIPTION:Blending storytelling\, drag performance\, dance\, and multimed
 ia elements\, the program traces KaMani Sutra’s journey of discovering f
 emininity while navigating life as an adult immigrant in the United States
 .\n\nRooted in the richness of Indian drag aesthetics and cultural influen
 ces\, this artist's showcase reflects on identity\, migration\, and self-e
 xpression\, contrasting the freedom of living authentically in a foreign l
 and with the complexities of belonging and visibility. Through short perfo
 rmances\, video\, and consensual audience participation\, the lecture-perf
 ormance-artist showcase challenges ideas around the model minority myth\, 
 binary gender\, and colonial saviorship.\n\nAt once celebratory and reflec
 tive\, the program honours intergenerational queerness\, LGBTQ+ community\
 , saris\, mujras\, divine femininity\, and the transformative power of sel
 f-love.\n\nThis programme is part of LGBTQIA+ programming and is an attemp
 t to amplify narratives from within the queer community through film\, dia
 logue\, and collective reflection.
