The world’s first ever 2-Spirit Ball is coming to Brum for one night only!2-Spirit is an umbrella term for Indigenous peoples that identify with the LGBTQ+ community. Although it is a contemporary term created in the 90’s, it acknowledges that diverse sexualities and gender roles exist within Indigenous traditions in North America. This event will highlight Indigiqueer culture from across Turtle Island and abroad, and will celebrate 2-Spirit artists in a variety of practices, such as drag, music and performance art.
Expect craft activities including Indigenous beadwork and Togan Flower Garlands, VJ and DJ sets from Bagowji, a musical performance by Cree artist Quanah Style, Powwow Dancer and traditional hand drum singer David White Deer Charette, and host for the evening Sleeps-With-Bears.
Tickets are FREE.
