Calendars are one of the key everyday elements in Slovenian culture, such as The fire brigade calendars and the erotic calendars on the walls of car repair shops. I thought about the everydayness of the calendar in combination with the extravagance of the drag queens and kings with whom I collaborate. I decided to create a more modern calendar, which would, instead of nudes, contain stylized illustrations of real drag queens working in Slovenia.
In the theoretical part of the thesis, I will research the history of drag queens in the world and in Slovenia, drag performance and the history of the calendar. I will present existing calendars with similar motifs and focus on the contribution of this type of print to the local LGBTQIA+ scene.
In the practical part, I will illustrate and design a calendar with twelve pages and a cover. Each month of the year will be represented by a full-page illustration of one of the active local drag queens.
