Artist Jennifer Gougé’s multimedia art installation “resurge/alight/burrow” will illuminate the evening one more time – from 5-8pm Tuesday, Nov. 12 – outside the Chippewa Valley Museum in Eau Claire’s Carson Park.

Gougé is a photographer, writer, beader, and installation artist who draws on her Indigenous background as Anishinaabe of the Lac Courte Oreilles band of Lake Superior Chippewa and Taíno of the Higuayagua Taíno of the Caribbean. Her Eau Claire installation consists of a camp brought to life by illumination from within paired with images and audio.

“This camp has been forming within me for years,” Gougé wrote recently on her website. “Bringing it earthside is how I bring Indigenous futurism to my installation art. resurge/alight/burrow weaves traditional architecture with projection, sound, and photography, into a camp where I hold space for convergence, creation, and ceremony.”

She continues: “This camp is a gift to the Indigenous community here, providing a space to come together, revive cultural knowledge, cocreate art, and experience healing ceremony, all while feeling safety in the midst of this urban environment. … resurge/alight/burrow is a place of action, creativity, and rest as resistance. And woven throughout, it is a love letter to the Indigenous communities of past, present, and future, here in this space and everywhere the camp touches down.”
