Half Breed Raw

Writer and artist, J. Spencer Rowe has created a photographic and text journey taking readers on a healing path as we view each b/w photograph of a nude and semi-nude (exposed) Two-Spirit Native American, Agokwe (Ojibwa) witness. This image and text work reaffirms the existence of the sacred Two-Spirit Native American people. The artist/model, J. Spencer Rowe (a gendered male well into his forties!) brings forth the raw essence (no air brushing here) of those who have passed from hiv/aids while summoning the duality of Warrior and Nurturer of the Two Spirit. At once haunting, courageous, sexual, spiritual, healing and joyful; we are ultimately overcome by the utter vulnerability of an entire generation of a people virtually extinct as channeled by an entirely exposed Agokwe (Ojibwa)Two-Spirit
