Drag King workshop by Beatriz Preciado
on Friday 14 from 9:15 am till 6:30 pm
117 boulvard de la Libération Saint-Denis
- registration required! more information (français, castellaño, english)

this is not a NG activity, but we couldn't resist announcing it...
we tried to somehow accomodate this workshop or work together,
but because of programme overlap and overload, we didn't manage...
but some of us will roam the streets of Paris and the venues of the ESF as drag kings, no doubt...
