<span style="color:black">Raven Davis’<i> Mmenwenmad | To Save for Later</i> is a series of monochromatic images of the artist on the coastline of Mi’kma’ki, also known as the Atlantic coast. Through the juxtaposition of land, body and Skyworld, Davis grapples
with a common 2-drawer filing cabinet, illustrating the lateral violence and incapability of colonial systems of knowledge to archive or embody the continuum of one's lived experience, intimate relationships with the land, and land based ways of knowing. The
images are juxtaposed by a pair of the same weather-beaten filing cabinets mounted on top of exaggeratedly tall plinths placing the cabinets out of reach. Glodeane Brown joins Davis in conversation about their practice and its critical engagement with monuments,
colonialism, trauma, disability, transness, diaspora, and relationship to the land.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span style="color:black">Raven Davis</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:black"> </span></span><span style="color:black">is an Anishinaabe, 2-Spirit, transgender, disabled multidisciplinary artist, activist, and educator, whose
mother is from Treaty Four in Manitoba. Davis was born and raised in Michi Saagig Territory/Toronto, Ontario, and resides and works fluidly between Toronto and Kjipuktuk/Halifax. A parent of three sons, Davis works within the mediums of painting, performance,
and media. Challenging systemic oppression, Davis fuses narratives of colonization, race, gender, disability, transformative justice, and 2-Spirit/Indigiqueer identity in their work. Davis’ performance and art practice bravely embodies their lived experience,
reclaiming histories of Indigenous peoples’ restoring cultural knowledge, and honouring land, water and collective kinship futures. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
