Aleksandar Crnogorac – Belgrade Drag
Although drag culture has existed in some form for hundreds of years, from ancient Greece to Shakespeare, to baroque operas, in the last fifty years it has experienced somewhat of a renaissance at a global level, and has to a great extent become part of popular culture. The situation in Serbia is somewhat different and it can be said that the local drag scene in our area only started to emerge at the beginning of the 21st century. Before that, there were only a few examples such as Agatha and her Viva la diva performances in the nineties. The concept of the drag community as a more serious movement in the form of Belgrade’s drag scene only began to form in the second decade of this century. These photos bear witness to that period.

Miloš Nadaždin – Traces
Traces, plural noun: A mark, object, or other indication of the existence or passing of something or someone. You can’t deny the existence of a human being, neither the greatest of all – the love itself. It goes beyond the laws we know. Despite that, some of us are still living in the shadows of our society, moving through invisible corridors of the system, trying to convince ourselves that we matter and that we should step out. Not all of us will. Some will stay hidden forever.
