Drag in the Wild Photo Exhibit
Donation protected
Hey beautiful humans!
So... the NEA told my "Drag in the Wild" project to take a hike. Honestly? I'm pretty bummed about it, but you know what? We're not backing down. Not even a little bit.
Here's the thing - I'm obsessed with this project for all the right reasons. I'm taking these absolutely incredible drag performers out of the club scene and dropping them into nature's most gorgeous spots. Why? Because drag belongs EVERYWHERE, not just behind velvet ropes or during Pride month.
Listen, our drag family is getting hit from all sides right now. Laws trying to erase them, shows getting canceled, people acting like their art is somehow threatening (spoiler alert: the only thing threatening about drag is how fiercely fabulous it is). So my camera? It's become my weapon of choice for fighting back through pure, unapologetic visibility.
Since the fancy government folks said "nope" to funding this magic, I'm coming to YOU - my people, my community, the humans who actually get it. Your dollars go toward getting our drag royalty to breathtaking locations, professional printing that does these images justice, and community outreach because this art needs to be SEEN.
This isn't just about pretty pictures (though trust me, they're gorgeous). This is about standing up and saying "we see you, we celebrate you, and we're not going anywhere."
Ready to help me make some beautiful trouble? Let's show the world what happens when art meets activism meets zero filter energy.
With all my love and stubborn determination,
Tosha
P.S. - Every donation, no matter the size, is a middle finger to anyone trying to silence the community. And honestly? That feels pretty good.
