Join us for a free screening of Paris is Burning, a stunning documentary that chronicles the New York drag scene in the 1980s. Following the screening, hear from Aquarius Funkk, a Maine-raised performance artist who has been active in the drag/ballroom scene in Maine, across the country, and abroad. This screening is inspired by the exhibition Come Closer: Selections from the Collection, 1978-1994. It is on view until November 26, 2023 at the Colby College Museum of Art.
