Wampum / ᎠᏕᎳ ᏗᎦᎫᏗ is an ongoing project where visual artist and composer Elisa Harkins sings in a combination of Cherokee, English, and Muscogee (Creek) to electronic dance music, some of which is inspired by sheet music of Indigenous music notated by Daniel Chazanoff during the 20th century.
As an act of Indigenous Futurism, it combines disco and Indigenous language in an effort to alter the fate of these endangered languages through active use, preservation on pressed vinyl, and radio play.
The event will include an introductory conversation with PITU Cultural Resource Manager Autumn Gillard at 6:30 p.m.
