Indya Moore: An Ikon in Conversation

Indya Moore will be at the Denver Art Museum on Sunday, October 25, for a moderated conversation. The talk is part of the 2026 CinemaQ LaBahn Ikon Film Award, which the Denver Film Festival presents annually to an LGBTQIA+ entertainment contributor whose work has made a lasting cultural impact. Past honorees include Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Colman Domingo, Andrew Haigh, and Niecy Nash-Betts.

Moore is an actress, model, writer, and producer, best known as Angel on FX's Pose. A Muslim trans woman of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent with Haitian roots, she was named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in the World and made Forbes' 30 Under 30. She was the first trans person to appear on the cover of the U.S. edition of ELLE, and later covered Vogue Italia, Vogue India, Vogue España, and Vogue Portugal. In 2025, she earned a Gotham Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Performance in Jim Jarmusch's Golden Lion winner Father Mother Sister Brother.

Beyond the screen, she co-founded Transanta with Chase Strangio and Kyle Lasky, and has led mutual aid efforts that raised over two million dollars. The conversation will be moderated by Holly Harmon, an interpretive specialist for DIVA, and is presented in partnership with Denver Film and Black Pride Colorado.

The talk runs from 1 PM to 2 PM in the Sharp Auditorium, located on the lower level of the Hamilton Building at the Denver Art Museum.
