Join the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy as we kick off Jersey City Pride with a screening of I’m Your Venus at Art House, followed by an exclusive panel discussion and Q&A.
Venus Xtravaganza emerged as a global trans icon after being featured as a glamorous “ball walker” in the groundbreaking 1991 documentary Paris Is Burning. Venus was murdered before that film’s release, and now, decades later, I’M YOUR VENUS picks up a trail gone cold as her two families—biological and ballroom—come together to honor her legacy, seek answers about her killing, and in the process find unexpected common ground.
