This essay is an investigation about drag practices as an artistic language, its relations with queer theories and the techniques and exhibition methods of the visual arts. In order to do so, the first part investigates the possible origins of drag art in the Western world, its development throughout history and what it is now. This is articulated with its few appearances or suggestions in the history of Euro-American art and how it's seen in the queer theories, to then understand its similarities and disparities with the concept of performance in the visual arts. In the second part, the drag persona of one of the authors, Eco Zazu, relates her own process of becoming a drag artist and her works.
