Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson — Tourmaline in conversation with Chase Strangio

Tourmaline

In conversation Chase Strangio

October 6, 2025

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. 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

This event is part of the Circa: Queer Histories Festival presented by One Institute.
