On June 19th, Queer|Art and The Poetry Project co-present MARSHA!, an intimate evening with artist, filmmaker, author and Multi-Year QAM Mentor Tourmaline in celebration of her newest book. The event will include an author reading of MARSHA: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson, the first definitive biography of the revolutionary activist. Afterwards, Tourmaline will be joined by Egyptt LaBeija for a moderated talkback, and the evening will conclude with live performances by guest stars. A rallying cry for liberation in celebration of Juneteenth, the program convenes artists, audiences, and community members to reflect on Marsha’s enduring impact and the continued work of Black trans artists and movement workers today.
