This lecture aims to share the findings of my doctoral thesis, titled peDRAGogía: Art
Education and Drag. The talk will be structured in three sections. The first section presents
my personal genealogy of Drag, which includes references from the cultural industry (film
and television), pop culture, the world of visual arts, and the nightlife scenes I frequent. The
second section will delve into pedagogical reflections on teaching art history from a
perspective of sexual dissidence. In this context, Drag operates as a teaching device
through which students design a character based on the aesthetic and visual values of an
artistic personality or movement. Finally in the third section, styled as a ballroom, I will
present the results and creative outputs of students who took my Art History courses at the
Faculty of Arts and Design (UNAM) between 2017 and 2020
