The book that inspired the Tenderloin Museum gallery show “Legends of San Francisco.” Legends of Drag is an archive of living drag history, featuring portraits and stories from drag queen elders in cities across the country. Inspired by a revelatory night at Aunt Charlie’s, artists Harry James Hanson, Devin Antheus, and Deb Leal began the project in the spring of 2018. It has grown to include 81 queens in 16 cities. Those portraits were published as Legends of Drag: Queens of A Certain Age in May 2022, from Abrams Books. Legends of San Francisco spotlights our local models, in the city where it all began.
