Description

At 6 pm, celebrate the first New Mexico performance of Wampum / ᎠᏕᎳ ᏗᎦᎫᏗ, an ongoing project by Cherokee/ Muscogee artist Elisa Harkins. Inspired by sheet music of Indigenous music notated by Daniel Chazanoff during the 20th century, Harkins sings in a combination of Cherokee, English, and Muscogee (Creek) to electronic dance music. As an act of Indigenous Futurism, this performance combines disco and Indigenous language in an effort to alter the fate of these endangered idioms through active use, preservation on pressed vinyl, and radio broadcast.
