    The Wider Image: For Turkish performer, drag is a political

    Ilker Yazici, 23, a drag performer whose stage name is Miss Putka, cleans windows while his friend Akif Dogru sits on a sofa, at Yazici's home in Istanbul, Turkey, September 19, 2023. "You can perform as long as you are healthy. I'll do it as long as I'm able," Ilker said. He has no worries about performing drag, but living in Turkey does worry him. "I don't know what the future will hold for me here," he said. "It is so unpredictable." REUTERS/Dilara Senkaya

    ABOUT QUEWS

    We are a news service born out of a global loss of confidence in media and destabilising polarisation of attitudes. We believe it is possible, indeed necessary, to create a public forum where vital issues of the day are discussed, debated, analysed and circulated.
