Fauxnique: How Do I Look?

the most vain, mundane and loaded question. Fauxnique, the drag queen guise of multi-faceted artist Monique Jenkinson, wields her unique combination of precise physicality, irreverent humor and gutsy vulnerability, to dig past glossy platitudes and flattering exaggerations into the hot mess of perception, subjectivity, identity and taste.Monique Jenkinson is an artist, choreographer, performer, and writer working at the confluence of dance, cabaret, and essay. Her alter-ego Fauxnique made herstory as the first cis-woman ever, anywhere, crowned as a pageant-winning drag queen and her original works have toured nationally and internationally in wide-ranging contexts from nightclubs to museums. Her memoir, Faux Queen is out on Amble Press.Friday, April 17th, 2026 at 7:30PM
