Join us as we celebrate our cherished LGBTQIA+ community and local “Werks of Art” this Pride Month, in partnership with Salem’s own Miz Diamond Wigfall! Our afternoon film screening will be followed by an evening dance party and drag show featuring special guests Cain and Landon Cider (season 3 winner of the Boulet Brothers’ Dragula).
Celebrating Local Legends: Film Screening, Panel and Presentation
2–4:30 pm | Morse Auditorium
This Pride, we are focusing on uplifting community voices. Join us in kicking off PEM Pride 2024 with a special screening of Peabody TV’s documentary The Drag Queens, Kings, and Things of Salem, featuring the Hometown Queeros collective. The screening will be followed by a panel conversation about drag arts, queer communities and gender euphoria and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the documentary. Our panel guests include filmmaker Randyll Collum and the Hometown Queeros: Miz Diamond Wigfall, Maxine Harrison, Buster Pants, Stardust Cropper, Miss Michael, Dick Kayin and Peewee Vermin.
After the Q&A, cheer and snap your fans for a runway walk by young people from the North Shore community, who have been guided on a gender euphoric workshop journey facilitated by Maxine Harrison and Buster Pants in partnership with PEM and NAGLY.
