Showcase Exhibition ― Into the Wild: Explorations in Two-Spirited Intersectionality | Margaret August

“Into the Wild” is an exhibition that explores gender identity, and identifying as “Two-Spirit.” This showcase will reveal contemporary Coast Salish art and stories of living in the modern context through tradition. This new body of work by Margaret August dissects and highlights the gifts of Two-Spirit people in the framework of Margaret’s own unique perspective, while also encouraging an understanding that Two-Spirit identity requires recognizing the intersectional nature of their experiences. Where Indigenous identity and LGBTQ+ identity overlap and shape their lived realities, or through an intersectional lens, we can see how the unique experiences of Two-Spirit individuals are shaped by their Indigenous background and their gender.
