Winnipeg's Pharaoh Moans is a self-described "androgynous drag monster who performs with a social consciousness." As she explains: "I'm interested in creating shock value and impact that challenges the binary in today's society."

Pharaoh's drag is a mesh of several different influences from '80s punk to '90s club kids to contemporary high fashion. She uses her drag as a "political statement" — a tool to "claim space, normalize expression and challenge the binary of the western world."

She enjoys bringing her persona to the streets most, where she is able to "make impact regarding these issues without ever having to say a word."

You'll see what she means in a moment.
