New York, New York

Tourmaline, a Black nonbinary trans person with a high bun of dark brown hair, teal eye shadow, and burgundy lipstick poses in a wooded area. She looks softly into the camera with one hand placed on her chest and wears a one-shoulder white top that showcases her tattoos.

Tourmaline makes film and installed video that highlights the capacity of black queer/trans social life to impact the world while living what is simultaneously an invisible — and hypervisible — existence. The through line of her filmmaking focuses on everyday people and their mundane creative acts that blur the lines and liens of what constitutes public.
