Artist Talk & Screening Museum Brandhorst and FILMFEST invite you to a special evening: on October 22, a screening of the film “Happy Birthday, Marsha!” (2018) by the American artists and co-directors Tourmaline and Sasha Wortzel. The film is a moving celebration and evocation of the Black trans woman activist and performance artist Marsha “Pay It No Mind” Johnson (1945–1992). The short film’s story begins on Johnson’s birthday and reimagines her historical role in igniting the Stonewall Riots in New York in 1969. This event was the beginning of a pivotal moment of resistance in the history of the gay liberation movement against police violence. Johnson’s dedication to this and many other political causes made her a cultural icon for the LGBTQIA+ community to this day. The screening will be followed by a talk between Tourmaline and Sasha Wortzel, moderated by Julia Weigl, the co-artistic director of FILMFEST and Franziska Linhardt, curator at Museum Brandhorst.
