Opening Reception for Shapeshifters @ Beaver Hall Gallery. Curated by Amanda Amour-Lynx. The goal of Shapeshifters was to enhance representation of two spirit, bisexual, fluid and queer voices in art. Peer-to-peer relationships are sorely needed. Two-spirit identities are often not represented in media or entertainment and we need to create spaces that nurture identity-based acts of creation. Our communities face exclusion in traditional and non-traditional settings. Shapeshifters is a response to voices that have gone ‘underground’ as a result of colonization, homophobia or transphobia.
