Tulip Wolf Journal is an online literary and art journal exploring the powerful intersection of drag culture and mental health through storytelling, art and performance – an inclusive space that celebrates the weird and experimental, showcasing drag culture as more than just a form of entertainment. We embrace the full spectrum of what drag can be – who performs it, how and where and for what purpose – and explore its role in fostering connection and community.
​
We invite submissions from anyone connected to drag culture. You might be a drag artist yourself. You might be a family member or friend of a drag artist. You might be a Drag Race fanatic or a regular at your local drag club. You might work in fashion design, makeup artistry, choreography, photography, podcasting... All are welcome here.
​
We seek stories from across the globe. While Tulip Wolf Journal is based in Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia, drag culture thrives in countless forms worldwide and we want to celebrate that diversity. However, we will always prioritise showcasing the unique talent and perspectives of our ‘Down Under’ drag communities in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Oceania region.
​​​
In today’s political climate, many people – especially those who are LGBTQIA+ – face challenges that leave them feeling isolated or ‘othered.’ It is vital to create avenues for discovering stories of resilience and creativity, to see others who may have had similar experiences and not only survived but thrived. By highlighting the intersection of drag culture and mental health, we hope to provide a space where people can discover the superheroes they need or become that superhero for someone still uncovering their own unique, individual strength.
