Being Tifa Wine: Drag, Indo-Caribbean Culture, and the Spirit of Anti-Colonial Resistance
In this vibrant episode of Drag Me to Heaven, I sit down with Tifa Wine (she/her), the electrifying drag persona of Ryan Persadie (he/him), a Toronto-based artist, educator, and doctoral fellow in Caribbean Studies. We explore Tifa's journey as a drag artist and how she weaves the rich tapestry of Caribbean culture, Carnival traditions, and chutney-soca music into her performances.
Ryan shares insights from his academic work on queer Caribbean diasporas, transnational feminisms, and Afro-Asian intimacies, while Tifa brings the spirit of fearless Caribbean women to the stage, using drag as a tool for anti-colonial agitation and celebration.
From the streets of Toronto to stages across the Caribbean diaspora, Tifa Wine’s performances remind us of the power of joy, rebellion, and cultural pride. Don’t miss this episode as we dive into faith, identity, and what it means to truly "mash up de place"!
