• About the Artists

  Elisa Harkins (Cherokee, Muscogee) is an artist, singer, electronic music composer, and curator. Her work is concerned with the body, language revitalization, and Indigenous music. She has exhibited and performed at Crystal Bridges, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, MoMA, Montréal, arts interculturels (MAI), and REDCAT. Harkins has received awards from Creative Capital, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Harpo Foundation, and the Mid-America Arts Alliance. Harkins is an enrolled member of the Muscogee Nation.

  Kalyn Fay (Cherokee Nation/Muscogee) is a songwriter and musician who fosters an additional interdisciplinary practice that interweaves visual arts, curation, and education. Born and raised in rural Oklahoma between Cherokee, Muscogee, and Osage territories, they are deeply rooted in their nuanced relationship to Oklahoma, and their musical practice is a reflection of that influence. Focusing on self-location, community, collaboration, and empathy, Fay sees their music as a way to lean into personal and shared narratives. Their songs embed Indigenous understandings associated with community and environment, navigating the ways in which we all intersect with the hopes of building bridges of understanding. Fay’s music is “for you, for me, for us, for we.”
