Celebrate the legacy of Black transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson with author and artist Tourmaline at an evening featuring a performance, reading, and conversation. In her debut book, Tourmaline—whose work anchored our 2019 exhibition Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall—offers the first definitive biography of Johnson as both an activist and artist.
The evening opens with a performance by Egyptt LaBeija, Overall Godmother of the House of LaBeija. After a reading, Tourmaline will be joined in conversation by Phoebe Robinson, a bestselling author, actor, producer, and founder of Tiny Reparations Books. The program is followed by a reception celebrating the imprint’s fifth anniversary.
Signed copies of Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson will be available for purchase after the conversation, offered in collaboration with Café con Libros.
Tickets are $25 ($15 for Members). Not a Member? Join today!
