✨ TWO-SPIRIT PRIDE FLAG BY PATRICK HUNTER ✨

We’re thrilled to share that The Window’s final installation of 2024 is now complete!

This remarkable installation highlights the work of the talented artist Patrick Hunter Art & Design who recently unveiled the official Two-Spirit Pride Flag at the Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg.

As we step into 2025, we celebrate a milestone: the creation of the first-ever Two-Spirit Pride Flag, beautifully crafted by Patrick Hunter to honour the 35th anniversary of the term “Two-Spirit.”

This flag is far more than a design—it’s a tribute to cultural identity, resilience, and the harmony of Two-Spirit individuals within the LGBTQ+ community.

Key elements of the design:
🪶 Two stylized eagle feathers symbolizing the balance of masculine and feminine energies.
☀️ Giizis (the sun) represents the infinite nature of our spirits.
✨ Circles of visible light celebrating the movement, magic, and ancient traditions of Indigenous art.

In Patrick’s own words:
“We walk Turtle Island with these two perspectives at all times, and if they are in harmony, we can achieve anything.”

Come see this awe-inspiring piece for yourself—it’s a celebration of identity, connection, and the beauty of diversity! 🌈

Q***R ARCHIVES / Q***RING THE ARCHIVE

Meet Jesse King, a visionary photographer redefining how we see and experience the world through a q***r lens. Born Ojibwe from Wasauksing First Nation (Eagle Clan) and based in Toronto, Jesse's work delves deep into identity, q***rness, gender, and the power of cultural representation.

Throughout this collection, the viewer will experience the use of images through a q***r lens. Queering the archive is to reexamine and reimagine memories, spaces and people through q***r existence – disrupting the mainstream context of heteronormativity and bringing it into liminal spaces.

Follow their journey as they continue to redefine art and archive with bold, unapologetic authenticity.
