Dreamers

  • Imogen Glanville

Dreamers sheds light on the struggle for young creatives such as Vimbai-Rose a singer, Herbie Bone a band and Joshua Lee a non-confirmative drag queen to make a living within their chosen field. For Vimbai-Rose, some of the challenges come from social barriers; “being a young black creative is a different situation, I definitely find myself having to work 10 times harder to be appreciated.” The shutting down of live venues is a limiting of creative possibilities for Herbie Bone, while for Joshua Lee the difficulty of being gender non-conforming drag in the face of ‘passable femininity’ is a challenge that is being reinforced by tv shows such as Drag Race.
