Meet the artists | Tourmaline


In this episode of ‘Meet the artists,’ filmmaker, writer, activist, and storyteller Tourmaline invites us into her studio on the 28th floor of Four World Trade Center. From there, she transforms often forgotten stories – like those of trans activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Riveria – into films.

Tourmaline calls on each of us to acknowledge that the experience of pleasure is our right. ‘We get to relax, we get to release outdated ways of thinking: that the harder you work the more important that you are,’ she remarks. Her practice also touches on space travel and Afro-futurism, which she understands as a way of imagining ‘what’s possible, even in conditions that tell us otherwise.’

Tourmaline is represented by Chapter NY and will be on view in the Statement sector at Art Basel’s 2022 Swiss edition.
