“Drag is an art form, a protest, and ultimately, a truly inspiring and creative expression of self,” says Russ Molina, CCO of Seven A.D. and Kidlat Awards Committee Chair. “It’s become a huge cultural movement and a symbol of the unrestricted resilience of creativity. It’s exciting to have someone like Manila share her thoughts and light a fire in the industry to unlock another facet of creativity.”
“The relentless power of creativity to change the world for the better cannot have a better inspiration than in Drag” says JC Valenzuela, CEO and Founder of Propel Manila, and Co-Chair of CreativeFest 2021. “Throughout its history, Drag has faced adversity and yet, its mission has forged on. Today, we enjoy its art form, its protests, and they are all because of trailblazers like Manila Luzon. Were so excited to have her open the Creative Fest Festival this year”
“Creativity knows no limit. And neither does a drag queen! Self-expression and ferocity are unleashed, as I am proud to be a part of CreativeFest 2021!” exclaims Manila Luzon.
