Treasured SF drag performer, educator, and artist Per Sia returns to the Tenderloin Museum for a Drag Story Hour at which she will use drag to read books that explore the themes of work and solidarity, subjects of TLM's special exhibit Education for Action: California Labor School 1942 - 1957.
What do labor organizing and working class culture have common with drag performance? Plenty! As a veteran of the San Francisco drag scene with a pedigree from weekly performances at the bygone iconic queer bar Esta Noche in the Mission, Per Sia knows a thing or two about being a working drag queen. In addition to prolific performance, Per Sia's career trajectory has included art curation, stand-up, television, and maybe a quinceañera or two in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and México. Currently, Per Sia is an educator in residence at an after school arts program in the San Francisco Unified School District and a regular performer in the nationally acclaimed "Drag Story Hour."
