Artist and composer Elisa Harkins created “Wampum / ᎠᏕᎳ ᏗᎦᎫᏗ” as an act of Indigenous Futurism, blending disco and native languages to preserve and celebrate her culture. Featured in Spoleto Festival USA, the performance and accompanying exhibition highlight the continued existence of Indigenous cultures worldwide. 

Co-presented with the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, the performance features Harkins singing in Cherokee, English, and Muscogee (Creek) to electronic dance tracks inspired by Indigenous music, seamlessly merging the traditional with the contemporary.

Abstract shapes in bright paint hues pop from a canvas in one corner, while a trio of sweatshirts draped over mannequins in the center of the room are geared up with headphones to explain their origin stories.
