IDKE is a first-of-its-kind event in that it is a collaborative,
non-competitive gathering of drag king community performers, their
fans, and the people who study, photograph and film them. It was
originally started by a group of Ohio State University Women's Studies
Graduate Students who assembled an "insider's view on FTM drag as a
subculture and craved to network beyond the Midwestern boundaries of
Columbus, Ohio, circa 1998." From its grassroots beginnings, IDKE has
grown from 100 attendees to the thousands expected in Columbus this
year.
