When indigenous artists navigate authentic representation of two-spirit experiences

Our indigenous artists collective is organizing an exhibition on gender and identity, and we're struggling with how to represent two-spirit experiences authentically when only some of us identify that way and others feel unsure about speaking to experiences that aren't ours. The gallery deadline is approaching and we need to decide how to move forward as a group.
