Curatorial statement:
To Wong Foo gave me my first glimpse of a world where queerness was not only accepted but celebrated. Where chosen family, self-expression, and joy were central. Watching these characters navigate small-town America with grace and glitter gave me hope that a vibrant, authentic future was possible for me too.
Film Synopsis:
Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme and Noxeema Jackson impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet pathetic drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez — one of the losers that evening — the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time.ComedyPT1H49MPG-132025-08-18Patrick Swayze
