About
Survival of the Fittest, An Exhibition of Work by Aylan Couchie
Survival of the Fittest is a retrospective exhibition by former Georgian College Fine Arts student Aylan Couchie. Couchie is a Nishnaabekwe interdisciplinary artist, curator and writer hailing from Nipissing First Nation. This exhibition highlights art from her time at Georgian College to current projects that consider the intersections of colonial/First Nations histories of place, culture and Indigenous erasure. Paired with a series of woodworking created by her Grandfather, Thomas Couchie-ban, including a series of small canoes he was in process of creating before his passing, Couchie pays homage to his creative inventiveness, teachings and inspiration. This intermedia exhibit will provoke meaningful conversations around culture, legacy, and healing.
This exhibit runs from September 19-October 20, 2024
The Opening Reception takes place Thursday, September 19, 2024 | 5:00–7:00pm
This exhibition is in partnership with Culture Days 2024, the Wiidookdaading Indigenous Resource Centre, The MacLaren Art Centre, and the Museum and Gallery Studies Department.
