About the Performers:

Chiquitita is a drag performer, event producer and visual artist based in New York City. Since being crowned Miss Bushwig in 2018, she has utilized the stage as a platform to amplify queer performance. Through celebrated tribute-cabaret shows, and projects to uplift her community, Chiquitita continues to push the boundaries of what being a drag performer means. She and her work have been profiled in Allure, W Magazine, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

Charlene Incarnate is a drag priestess and producer living in Brooklyn. She enacted her gender transition as a performance art piece on New York drag stages, and now her performance work centers around the aggressive, dangerous and inherently political nature of living in a transgender body.  After being crowned Miss Bushwig 2017, she now headlines the drag festival annually and produces shows in clubs and theaters city-wide. She was a 2019 OUT100 honoree and can be seen as a featured storyline in Wig, the HBO Documentary about New York drag scene's past and present.
