Drag is a type of performance art and the people involved dress up and perform, often in highly stylized ways. This can include clothing, makeup, and accessories. Drag is often a form of self-expression.
The term Drag originated in 19th-century British theatre slang and was used to describe men wearing women’s clothing.
In the United States, early examples of drag clothing can be found in gold rush saloons in California. Drag is used to challenge traditional gender norms whilst exploring one’s own gender identity.
