This solo exhibition by artist Audie Murray features recent work that address and consider the revolutionary potential of dreaming. It is titled Pawatamihk after the Michif word for dream. Nanaimo Art Gallery curator Jesse Birch writes that “dreaming is dangerous for colonial worldviews as it allows a window of time and space to listen to the earth and to ancestors, to imagine the world differently, and to prepare to enact change.”
Murray works in a multitude of artistic mediums, including sculpture, media, beadwork and drawing. Her practice is informed by the processes of making and visiting, and explores themes of contemporary culture, embodied experiences, and lived dualities. These modes of working assist in the recentring of a collective connection to bodies, ancestral knowledge systems, and relationality.
Pawatamihk is produced in conjunction with curator Jesse Birch and the Nanaimo Art Gallery.
