Event Details

The Crisp-Ellert Art Museum and Flagler College are pleased to present “Teach Me a Song,” an ongoing body of video, sculpture, and photography work from Tulsa-based artist Elisa Harkins.

The exhibition will kick off with a walkthrough led by the artist on Thursday, Sept. 7, followed by an opening reception until 7 p.m. Related programs include a performance by the artist, entitled “Wampum / ᎠᏕᎳ ᏗᎦᎫᏗ” on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. in the Lewis Auditorium. Both the exhibition and performance are free and open to the public.

In 2019, Harkins (Cherokee/Muscogee) began her project “Teach Me a Song” that draws on her long-time interest in translation and language preservation. This exhibition is an extension of Harkins’ larger body of work in which she uses Cherokee and Mvskoke languages, electronic music, sculpture, and the body as her tools. She is the first person to use Cherokee in a contemporary song.

At the heart of the exhibition is a video which threads together a series of nine inter-tribal song exchanges, traversing musical genres. Harkins introduces viewers to ceremonial, religious, country, rock & roll, and electronic songs that are imparted with both personal and cultural significance.

On Sept. 21, in conjunction with our exhibition, Harkins will perform “Wampum / ᎠᏕᎳ ᏗᎦᎫᏗ,” where the artist sings in a combination of Cherokee, English and Muscogee (Creek) to electronic dance music. This is partially inspired by sheet music of Indigenous music notated by Daniel Chazanoff during the 20th century.

Harkins, who resides on the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation and is an enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, incorporates Indigenous language into each of her endeavors. She does this as an act of reclamation, a step towards decolonizing Indigenous musical traditions, and an attempt to alter the fate of these endangered languages. This mission is through active use, preservation on pressed vinyl, and radio play.

She received her bachelor’s degree from Columbia College, Chicago and a Master of Fine Art from the California Institute of the Arts. She has since continued her education at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Harkins has exhibited her work at Crystal Bridges, documenta 14, The Hammer Museum, The Heard Museum, and Vancouver Art Gallery.
