About
Lhbt'ers uit de hele wereld strijken in de maand augustus massaal in Amsterdam neer voor de Gay Pride, de Drag Queen Olympics en de Hartjesdagen. De regenboogvlag gaat uit en tijdens de botenparade is iedereen "pretty in pink". De feestmaand is pas voorbij nadat extravagant uitgedoste drag queens over de Zeedijk hebben geparadeerd tijdens het eeuwenoude volksfeest Hartjesdag. Fotografe Shirley Agudo raakte gefascineerd door deze uitbundige en vrijgevochten manifestaties. Ze fotografeerde jarenlang de bezoekers van de festiviteiten en toont in het tweetalige boek 'Amsterdam Streethearts' hun flamboyante uitdossingen. Backstage mocht zij ook van dichtbij het proces van de transformatie volgen en dat zien we hier voor het eerst in boekvorm. LGBT people from all over the world flock to Amsterdam in the month of August for the Gay Pride, the Drag Queen Olympics and the Hartjesdagen. The rainbow flag goes out and everyone is "pretty in pink" during the boat parade. The party month is only over after extravagantly dressed drag queens have paraded over the Zeedijk during the centuries-old popular festival Hartjesdag. Photographer Shirley Agudo became fascinated by these exuberant and free-spirited manifestations. For many years she photographed the visitors of the festivities and shows their flamboyant outfits in the bilingual book 'Amsterdam Streethearts'. Backstage she was also allowed to closely follow the process of transformation and we see this for the first time in book form.
