ABOUT
Experience the virtual screenings of the first Two-Spirit performance festival in the heart of Yelamu (SF).
We are...
Weaving the ways of the past into the loom of the present...
Embracing sexuality and our full selves in performance…
creating our own visibility
Weaving Spirits features local and national Native American artists whose offerings range from traditional music to experimental performance and drag.
Spring 2022 will bring the return of our live performances, workshops, and community circles.
With community support we are making this regular gathering!
Curated by an intergenerational team of Two-Spirit community leaders, with cultural protocols followed towards the Rahmaytush and other Ohlone peoples of the bay.
The Two-Spirits Powwow is just one powerful way Two-Spirits are reclaiming our space in the circle with vital contemporary #indigequeer voices.
ALL are welcome.
“Two-Spirit” is a pan-tribal term—it is rooted in the Anishinaabe term describing such individuals: “niizh manidoowag.” This translates literally as “two spirits”- embodying both the complex feminine and the masculine in all of us.
