Charming for the Revolution

Charming for the Revolution (2009)

Drag performer Werner Hirsch is seen walking a turtle, channelling the 19th-century dandy, protesting the frenzy of industrialisation. With a nod to underground artist Jack Smith, as well as to queer and feminist campaigns such as Wages for Housework, the film recreates the ‘housewife’ as an ambiguous figure with an open future.
