Poem Poster from We Were Never Meant to Beg For Light
Description
The River and the Riot honors the life and legacy of Marsha P. Johnson through lyric movement rather than biography. The poem moves like water—wide, defiant, luminous—holding joy and rupture in the same current.
Set against a textured, street-worn backdrop, the poster frames Marsha not as symbol alone, but as presence: dancing through fear, claiming space for the unseen, and standing as a flare for those denied safety and recognition. This piece belongs in spaces that recognize liberation as collective, embodied, and unfinished.
