That’s Camp!

Bjork wearing a swan dress to the Oscars and birthing an egg purse on the red carpet: That’s Camp! Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford brandishing a wire hanger: That’s Camp! Stumbling upon chartreuse street-puke and declaring it “brat summer:” That’s Camp! Camp is all around us—it’s Celine’s backwards tux, it’s PeeWee Herman’s talking blue sofa, it’s painting nail polish over the pinky toe to blend in with the stiletto from which it has escaped. Camp is ironic, it’s over-the-top; it’s subversive and unhinged, but in a glamorous way. Camp is queer culture.

Join your hosts Ry Bred & Tomboy for a night of high camp, featuring performances from Portland’s crème-de-la-camp: Anyanka, Harlow Quinzel, Heavy Cream, Khadijah Diamond, Lyta Blunt, Umbruh, Duchess and La Mama Dora.
