In-Between Kings & Queens
FOUNDATION
The In-Between Kings & Queens Foundation advances equality through visual storytelling. Our work is guided by a fundamental principle: Article 1 of the Dutch Constitution — equal treatment and inclusion for all. Our mission is to create images that honor diversity, challenge discrimination, and ensure everyone's right to be seen, heard, and valued.
Our Mission
Founded in December 2025, the In-Between Kings & Queens Foundation supports a photographic documentation project that began in 2015 by Léon Hendrickx & Micha Schneijderberg.
We translate our constitutional Article 1 into visual reality by documenting drag performers (both in-and-out of drag) creating photomontages that honour the layered identities within each individual.
Through art, we create visibility and safe spaces where self-expression can flourish, particularly in contexts where this carries risk. Our work functions as cultural diplomacy, fostering dialogue about diversity, freedom, and human dignity across borders and cultures. By sharing these intimate portraits, we invite audiences to open their hearts and minds to lives and identities they might not otherwise encounter.
