DRENKROM has always existed close to underground culture — the places where fashion, performance, and community naturally meet. One of those spaces is the drag stage.
Recently, Shiva S’Lake, member of the Budapest-based drag collective Dragvolution, wore a dress she made herself, with DRENKROM prints during a performance, bringing the piece to life in the way it was always meant to exist: bold, unapologetic, and on stage.
We first connected with the Dragvolution crew during our Make Hungary Gay Again campaign, where fashion and activism came together in support of queer visibility. Seeing DRENKROM pieces continue their journey through performance and drag culture feels like a natural extension of that collaboration.
About Dragvolution
The Dragvolution collective was founded in Budapest on October 15, 2021. The current members of the group are Shiva S’Lake, Myra Pixel, and Sorien, who regularly perform drag shows and appear at community events across the city.
The collective organizes monthly drag performances at the Gólya community space, where their shows typically attract audiences of 200–300 people. Their performances focus on creating entertaining, creative, and diverse shows, always aiming to surprise their audience with something new.
Dragvolution frequently invites guest performers, including both amateur and professional drag artists, while also creating opportunities for new performers to debut on stage. The collective also organizes themed events, built around unique concepts that add new dimensions to the drag experience.
As an active participant in Budapest’s queer cultural scene, Dragvolution has previously collaborated with Budapest Pride, as well as festivals such as Kolorádó and Sziget.
Each member brings years of stage experience to the collective: Sorien began performing drag nearly 12 years ago before returning to the stage after a short break, Shiva has been a drag queen for 6 years, and Myra began her drag journey in the same year Dragvolution was founded.
Fashion as Performance
For DRENKROM, clothing has never been just clothing. Pieces are meant to move, to perform, and to exist in spaces where identity, humor, sexuality, and politics intersect.
Seeing the vulva and penis print dress worn by Shiva on stage reminds us that garments can become part of a story — one that continues far beyond the studio where they were made.
We’re proud to support artists and performers who keep queer culture visible, playful, and powerful.
