Brooklyn Reads: Marsha with Tourmaline and Phoebe Robinson

Description

Thursday, May 22, 7–10 pm

Celebrate the legacy of Black transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson with author and artist Tourmaline at an evening featuring a reading, conversation, and post-program reception. In her debut book, Tourmaline—whose work anchored our 2019 exhibition Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall—offers the first definitive biography of Johnson as both an activist and artist. 

After a reading, Tourmaline will be joined in conversation by Phoebe Robinson, a bestselling author, actor, producer, and founder of Tiny Reparations Books. The program is followed by a reception celebrating the imprint’s fifth anniversary. 

Signed copies of Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson will be available for purchase after the conversation, offered in collaboration with Café con Libros.

Tickets are $25 ($15 for Members). Not a Member? Join today!

This program will include ASL interpretation. For accessibility accommodations, email access@brooklynmuseum.org.
