ANNABELLE BABINEAU | September 28  

How I Became a Drag Queen and a Fiber Artist in NB

Annabelle Babineau transitioned from a full-time non-profit worker with a part-time drag career to a full-time multidisciplinary artist in New Brunswick. You can catch Barbra Wire, her drag character, all over the Maritimes performing Acadian and Anglophone drag and sporting handmade crochet looks. She is also working on a Canada Council for the Arts fibre project to showcase queer traditional Acadian crafts.
