Hot Wheelz: Raising a Middle Finger and Building World Class, Accessible Drag

Kels Valenzuela Delamarter

Hot Wheelz is a drag artist and self-described “disabled genderqueer monster.” They are widely celebrated as one of the first ambulatory wheelchair users to join the Edmonton drag scene. In this addition to ECAMP’s labour history series, author Kels Valenzuela Delamarter tells the story of their rise, deliciously macabre costuming, and goal “to turn the corporate ladder into a ramp.”

Explore the stories that connect us, the stories that divide us, and the stories that nurture an appreciation of our differences as Edmontonians.
