Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson
Tourmaline
in conversation with Chase Strangio
in partnership with the ACLU of Southern California
This event is part of the Circa: Queer Histories Festival presented by One Institute.

In partnership with the ACLU of Southern California, we present a timely and important conversation about current transgender issues in our country with renowned award-winning artist, filmmaker, and national bestselling author Tourmaline and Chase Strangio, co-director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project. Tourmaline will also discuss her latest book, the first definitive biography of the revolutionary activist Marsha P. Johnson—one of the most important and remarkable figures in LGBTQIA+ history—and how her story and legacy can inspire us today.

“Less a traditional biography than a striking Polaroid of a movement in motion, Tourmaline’s roving literary lens captures Marsha’s multitudes in all their protean, mesmerizing glory.”— Los Angeles Review of Books
