Het Zuid-Afrikahuis presents Drag Daughters, a forthcoming solo exhibition by award-winning South African social documentary photographer Michelle Sank. The exhibition offers a captivating look at Cape Town’s rich drag culture, celebrating resilience, community and self-expression. Exhibited for the very first time, the photographs capture the growing sense of visibility, empowerment and cultural transformation within South Africa’s diverse society.

What began as a chance encounter with a stranger on Cape Town’s Promenade, Drag Daughters by Michelle Sank developed into a powerful body of work portraying some of the city’s most exquisite drag queens. The series follows six young men who have grown up in townships and, despite facing rejection or having to hide their identities in the past, are now becoming more accepted, striving to make a difference within the communities they grew up in.
