Two Spirit, MMIWR photo exhibit begins state tour
A traveling photo exhibit highlighting Two Spirit people and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives opens Friday at the Carnegie Art Center in Mankato, Minnesota, before heading to Minneapolis in June, according to MPR News. “Two Spirit and MMIW/R Voices” marks its first showing outside the Bemidji area and features 25 photographs blending PRIDE flag colors with traditional Indigenous regalia and imagery associated with the MMIWR movement.
Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe member Arnold Dahl-Wooley, a lead organizer and model in the exhibit, told MPR the project aims to raise awareness about violence and misunderstanding faced by LGBTQ+ and Indigenous communities. The exhibit runs in Mankato through March 7 and will be displayed in Loring Park in Minneapolis June 27-28.
