ACCA's Summer Season: Tourmaline: Transcendent

  • Free
  • Art

Transcendent is an elegant and powerful exhibition that speaks to urgent contemporary issues. Tourmaline has exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA in New York, Tate, London and more, attracting an enthusiastic following for her work at the intersection of activism and fine art. This starting point powerfully informs her resonant research into celebrated historical figures, to create work that strives to make sense of broader issues facing her communities.

Transcendent features new large-scale photographs and the global debut of Tourmaline’s newest video work, specially commissioned by ACCA, extending her ongoing research into queer histories, including the life and legacy of revolutionary LGBTIQA+ activist Marsha P. Johnson.

Curated by Sophie Prince.

Please note ACCA is closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
