Brandon W. Brooks, a local historian who is director of programs for the Landmark Society and former curator at Genesee Country Village & Museum, will examine early forms of popular entertainment and Rochester’s history of drag, and will explore drag as both an artistic practice and a reflection of evolving cultural ideas, according to the library website.
