In 1970s New York, Marsha P. Johnson gathered friends aboard the Staten Island Ferry and invited them to orient toward pleasure and possibility. Tourmaline's second solo exhibition at Chapter NY reimagines that gesture via cinematic self-portraits staged in Venice by water taxi, sequined and sunlit, channeling Johnson's spirit across time. Photographs, archival footage, and a new film collapse temporal distance into something intimate and dreamlike, treating beauty as a form of resistance.
