Thank you @dignityseniors for sharing such rich info, as well as this amazing art.

"In Canada, Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day, held annually on the spring equinox, is a time to celebrate the diversity of Two-Spirit identities and raise awareness about the unique experiences of Two-Spirit people.

Conceived by First Nations Cree scholar and community organizer Harlan Pruden, and advocated for by members of the Two-Spirit community, Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day is an annual celebration of the radiance and diversity of Two-Spirit identities, expression and experience . Held in alignment with the spring equinox each year, the celebration is intended for all Two-Spirit and Indigenous queer and trans people, as well as allies, families, and friends.

ARTWORK: Artist Margaret August
Is a Two-Spirit, Coast Salish artist from shíshálh Nation. Margaret was born in 1983 in the traditional unceded Lkwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ territories, now referred to as Victoria B.C.

Two Spirit Rising is a mural Margaret created in Vancouver during the summer of 2020.

'This art piece depicts two Coast Salish Thunderbirds surrounding a human figure in the middle.

Thunderbirds are symbols of power, protection and strength. The supernatural powers of Thunderbird provide spiritual protection.

It is said that they can take human form when they lift their heads up as shown in the design. When Thunderbirds flap their wings, lightning strikes, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

The human in this design represents Two-Spirit people. Two-Spirit people bring special gifts to the world and offer the same protection a Thunderbird provides. They are non-binary. Therefore, they bring a balance to the world that would otherwise not be present. Their healing powers are needed on this earth.

The Thunderbirds in this design are protecting our sacred gendered people.'

Big F'N Hands by @ellen_forney is a series that still haunts us to this day. We wanted to buy them all and should have at the time. Bold, beautiful and whimsical. The pieces are so incredibly sexy, fierce and fabulous. Have you come across art that you didn't buy and you regret not doing so for the rest of your life?

“Queer Love,” a group exhibition at @stephenfriedmangallery.

This exhibition brings together a selection of significant and recently discovered erotic drawings by British artist and key Bloomsbury group member Duncan Grant (1885–1978) in dialogue with new works by contemporary queer artists. These artists’ bold celebration of queer identity highlights the hard-won progress made since Grant’s covert documentation of homosexual intimacy over 75 years ago, particularly at a time when civil liberties and LGBTQ+ rights are once again under attack.

Reflecting on the exhibition, Dr. Darren Clarke writes, “Here is the pleasure of love, the physical, the hard, the soft and the beautiful. And here is the power of resistance and the importance of being true to yourself in the face of oppression and adversity.”

“Queer Love” will be on view at Stephen Friedman Gallery, New York, through May 22.

The exhibition "Alina Szapocznikow. Körpersprachen" may be enjoyed at @kunstmuseumravensburg ♥️ Bringing together more than 80 sculptures and drawings and investigating her work from the mid-1950s until shortly before Szapocznikow’s early death at the age of 46.

The exhibition sheds light on Szapocznikow’s turning away from traditional figurative sculptures and evolving towards her objets maladroits (‘awkward objects’), the title that she herself gives to her later works.

Going on now in NYC - @stephenfriedmangallery ♥️ ‘Queer Love’ ♥️
⁠
The exhibition presents Duncan Grant’s (1885–1978) recently discovered erotic drawings in dialogue with new works by contemporary queer artists.⁠
⁠
In 1959, Grant gave his friend and fellow painter, Edward Le Bas (1904–1966), a folder marked with the words: “These drawings are very private.” Inside was a collection of over 400 erotic drawings that expressed Grant’s lifelong fascination with the joy and beauty of queer intimacy.⁠
⁠
Made during the 1940s and ‘50s, when sex between men was still illegal in England, the drawings were believed to have been destroyed after Le Bas’ death for their explicit portrayal of homosexual desire. They were, in fact, rescued and have remained in private hands ever since – a secret collection passed from lover to lover, friend to friend, for 60 years. After they came to light, this incredible collection was gifted to Charleston. ⁠
⁠
Exhibiting artists include: Soufiane Ababri, Leilah Babirye, Anthony Cudahy, Kyle Dunn, Alex Foxton, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Wardell Milan, Sola Olulode, Tom Worsfold and Jimmy Wright.⁠
⁠
The show is organised in collaboration with @charlestontrust.⁠
⁠
On view 17 April–21 May. Click the 🔗 link in the gallery's IG to plan your visit and find out more.
