On Saturday, March 12, at the Judson Church, hundreds of activists, artists, and community members honored artist and activist Chloe Dzubilo, who died February 18.

Chloe's life and work as an artist, performer, and pioneering transgender and AIDS activist was celebrated via song, storytelling, and calls to action by artists, activists, and friends including Rosario Dawson, Antony Hegarty, Justin Bond, Viva Ruiz, Katrina Del Mar, and Barbara Warren. They also gifted Chloe's art to local organizations she was involved with and passionate about.
