It is a profound privilege to share this Honourable Mention, a recognition that feels particularly meaningful given the intensive journey required to bring this story to light. This project was not the result of a single moment, but rather the culmination of a long, dedicated period of immersive work. It was a process that demanded patience, sensitivity, and a deep commitment to understanding a world that is as vibrant as it is complex. This achievement is, above all, a testament to the power of teamwork. No project of this delicacy can be realised in isolation, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to those who walked this path with me. My sincere thanks go to my friend and colleague Peter Wilson, whose insights were invaluable, to Annecristie Badiu, and to the entire staff at the CAPTA collective. Their unwavering support and shared vision provided the foundation upon which this narrative was built. I am also profoundly grateful to the performers themselves, who granted me the rare and humbled opportunity to enter their lives and document a subject of such extraordinary human depth. The focus of this long-term reportage is Drag Syndrome, the world’s first professional drag company for queens and kings with Down’s syndrome. Based in London but drawing talent from across the UK, this ground-breaking collective is using the transformative power of drag to broadcast a message of radical acceptance. The project documents these artists as they experiment with the avant-garde—mastering intricate makeup, elaborate costumes, and diverse musical landscapes—to claim their rightful place on global stages. Throughout the years spent following this troupe, I witnessed how Drag Syndrome provides a vital platform for self-expression, challenging the narrow societal perceptions often imposed on the disabled community. By reclaiming the spotlight, these performers prove that creativity knows no chromosomal boundaries. Documenting this journey has taught me more than I could have imagined about the resilience of the human spirit and the defiant joy of artistic freedom. This recognition belongs to the entire team and, most importantly, to the artists who redefine what it means to be seen.
