About the Artist
Davinia-Ann Robinson’s (bb Wolverhampton, lives and works in London) art practice and research are explored through sound, sculpture, writing and performance, examining how tactility, presencing and fugitivity work to form an undoing of colonial and imperial frameworks of extraction, through which nature and Black, Brown, and Indigenous bodies are articulated within colonialism.

Investigations in tactility are encountered through corporeal and physical engagements between her body and landscapes and the interactions formed between colonial violence in global landscapes and Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. Through her research in tactility, she examines presencing which is the understanding and engagement of a reciprocal practice and a politicised accountability grounded in the ethics of mutual care and responsibility. This is related to the care of nature, care of human and non-human beings, ancestral care of those who have passed, and those who are to come and a spiritual belief. Through the study of tactility and presencing her practice examines acts of fugitivity as practices of refusal, creating communities of refuge and care, connecting to the land, and connecting to one’s physical and spiritual body.
