Drag the Archive is a collaborative practicum project by Carleton University students in partnership with the City of Ottawa Equity Team and the City of Ottawa Archives. Through photography, the exhibition showcases the life and work of drag performer Paul "Peaches Latour" Fournier and queer rights activist, editor, news reporter and diplomat Philip Hannan. The project celebrates drag performance and queer gender expression in Ottawa and beyond. Through carefully curated selections of archival records, students bring forward a powerful visual narrative that highlights local histories while connecting them to broader traditions of queer gender expression.

Drag the Archive est un projet de stage collaboratif mené par des étudiants de l’Université Carleton en partenariat avec l’équipe de l’Équité et les Archives de la Ville d’Ottawa. Grâce à des photographies, l’exposition présente la vie et l’œuvre de Paul « Peaches Latour » Fournier, artiste drag, et de Philip Hannan, défenseur des droits des personnes queers, réviseur, journaliste et diplomate. Le projet célèbre les spectacles drags et l’expression de genre queer à Ottawa et ailleurs. Grâce à des documents d’archives soigneusement choisis, les étudiants présentent un récit visuel puissant qui met à l’honneur les histoires locales tout en les reliant au cadre élargi de l’expression de genre queer.
