Farewell forever to Cecilia Gentili, a giant of art and advocacy for trans people, immigrants, and sex workers. She will be sorely missed.

"Gentili was in the midst of a period of creative flourishing, having released her stunning debut book Faltas: Letters to Everyone in My Hometown Who Isn’t My Rapist in 2022, and performing her autobiographical off-Broadway show Red Ink in 2023...

In her organizing work, Gentili was known for bringing explosive trans joy to every project she touched. Last summer, she birthed and co-organized Transmissions Fest, the first all-trans music festival in New York City, with proceeds benefiting LGBTQ+ charities. 'We are often included in Pride events, but we’re not centered,' she said. 'And there’s a difference.' In 2020, she hosted Fierce Futures, a fundraiser supporting organizations that serve Black trans people."

She was only 52. RIP. #TransActivism #LGBTQIA #QueerHistory #CeciliaGentili
