What are the responsibilities and job description for the Unraveling the Ribbon: Workshop position at REGION 2 ARTS COUNCIL?
Beginning in 2023, the M has been in partnership with Penny Kagigebi (White Earth Ojibwe/direct descendant) to develop "Queering Indigeneity," a multi-year, multi-generational project focusing on 2-Spirit, Native queer, gender expansive vision in great diversity and celebration.
In seeking out and amplifying voices of Indigenous artists and culture bearers, the M, guided by Kagigebi, hopes to influence both the types of artists who are supported, seen, and centered at the museum, and to show both Indigenous and non-Indigenous visitors a more comprehensive, complicated, and true story of Minnesotan art and artists.
"Queering Indigeneity" will open at the M in the Nancy and John Lindahl Gallery on September 18th, 2025 featuring 16 native artists from the Upper Midwest: Sharon Day, Ryan Young, Delia Touché, Awanigiizhik Bruce, Niibawi Ajijaak, Awanaabe Syverson, Zoe Allen, Naawakamigookwe Lera Hephner, Noah Polk, Madeline Treuer, Chewie Mason, Asin-Gwiiwizens, Sav Jonsa, Giiwedin, Nick Metcalf, and Penny Kagigebi.
