ONLINE: Elizabeth Waterman: Gorgeous Drag at Albumen Gallery

Between 2014 - 2016 American photographer Elizabeth Waterman undertook an extensive and ambitious project documenting and portraying the New York Drag scene. The resulting 'Gorgeous Drag' series marks not just one, but two departures.

It was a dynamic and significant time. An increasingly assertive drag scene came out of the shadow of its earlier underground existence - confident of its contribution towards an expanding conversation about gender and sex in the USA.

The Bushwick drag scene - once furtively played out in dingy backroom venues - suddenly produced major stars like Sasha Velour or Aquaria performing at festivals like Bushwig.
