#30 Bringing Drag to Rural Australia with Art Simone
Description
Today I chat to Art Simone, one of Australia’s most celebrated Drag Queens who you may recognise from RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under.
Through creativity and humour and sheer talent, Art Simone has claimed her position at the forefront of the Aussie entertainment industry. Breaking down stereotypes, celebrating differences and tirelessly promoting social inclusion, Art has helped move drag from margin to mainstream and she's just getting started.
Today we chat about Art’s journey from performing in a small country town to performing on a worldwide stage, plus their work championing visibility and representation for the queer community. If you’ve never spent time with a drag queen - I encourage you to listen to this episode with an open heart and open mind, understanding what goes on behind all the glitter and glam.
