Tourmaline American
The work of activist, filmmaker, and writer Tourmaline involves deep research into under-acknowledged and underrepresented histories, particularly those that center queer and trans historical figures of color in nineteenth- and twentieth-century New York, from Seneca Village to Stonewall. In this self-portrait, she inhabits the possibilities of space travel for journeying to a utopian setting that might provide respite from the dangers of the present moment.
