Audie Murray’s solo exhibition Pawatamihk – titled after the Michif word for dream – features recent works that address and consider the revolutionary potential of dreaming as an alternative way of imagining and remembering. In discussing Pawatamihk, Jesse Birch notes 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’s practice both embodies and creates space for this critical imagination. Informed by processes of making and visiting, Pawatamihk is realized through a multitude of mediums, such as beadwork, sculpture, drawing and recorded conversation.
