For a long time Anush thought they were the only queer person in the Armenian diaspora in Buenos Aires. They travel to Armenia to look for belonging and the myths of their homeland. What they find is a queer scene thriving in resistance  - and their first love. In our last episode we talk about embroidery as a political act and how Anush’s craving for pastry got them expelled from primary school.

As a Drag performer Hagop uses he/him pronouns, Anush uses they/them. Check out their Instagram @anush.grati.elmezian.

This is the last episode of Drag Stories - at least for this season. Thanks to all of you who have stayed with us until the end. We would love to make more seasons of Drag Stories - because there are so many more amazing Drag performers out there. We will need your support for that. So stay tuned, you will hear from us again!
