“Pawatamihk”
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.
