Orlando and Drag

Send us a text

Karina interviews drag king Holly James Johnston, who created a drag act entirely based on Woolf's character, Orlando. She regularly performs as Orlando and has spoken about what it means to apply Woolf's novel to the art of drag and dress. Her photographs for 'Adventures in Time and Gender' vividly reimagined what Orlando would have looked like during the 2020 lockdown.
