Tourmaline's practice highlights the experiences of Black, queer, and trans communities and their capacity to impact the world. Her films and photographs rewrite mainstream narratives and cultural histories to initiate a paradigm shift and imagine a more pleasure-filled future. Tourmaline\u2019s practice invites us to fundamentally reshape our beliefs about what is possible. In the episode they discuss Tourmaline's books, the national best seller Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson, published by Reparations Books at Random House in 2025, and her children\u2019s book One Day in June published by Penguin Press, as well as her films Happy Birthday Marsha, Salacia and recently, Pollinator, which won the 2022 Baloise Art Prize and was included in the 2024 Whitney Biennial, and her portraits, which are in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Tourmaline\u2019s work is also part of an upcoming exhibition at the Barnes Foundation, Freedom Dreams.
