We had so much fun at our IN-PERSON Drag Story Hour
with Yuhua Hamasaki, we’re doing it again! Join us at MOCA
IN-PERSON on April 2nd for stories, songs, and crafts for kids ages
3-8.
Drag Story Hour (DSH) is
just what it sounds like—drag queens reading stories to children.
DSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of
childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer
role models. In these spaces, kids are able to see people who defy
rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can
present as they wish, where dress up is real.
Drag Story Hour NYC
provides a range of fun and fabulous educational experiences for
children and teens from 3 to 18 years old in libraries, schools,
museums, and community spaces in all five boroughs of New York
City. Through storytelling and creativity, DSH teaches children
about gender diversity and all forms of difference to build empathy
and give kids the confidence to express themselves however they
feel comfortable. Learn more here: www.dshnyc.org.
