The Museum of the Cherokee People’s annual Indigenous pop culture event “The Way We See the World” will be held from 5-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, in the Council Fire Ballroom at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort.
Now in its fifth year, MOTCP’s signature summer event showcases contemporary perspectives for Cherokee people, primarily by Cherokee people. This community-centered celebration puts Native self-representation in the spotlight, uplifting creative work that explores identity through film, music and visual art. This year’s event invites audiences to be inspired and laugh out loud with two short documentaries, a short romantic comedy, a live DJ set, silent auction, 50/50 raffle and art market.
“It’s hard to believe we have been hosting this event for five years,” said Executive Director Shana Bushyhead Condill (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians). “This has grown into a fun evening that our community looks forward to, as do we. Celebrating and sharing our Native self-representation is incredibly powerful.”
Free tickets can be reserved via Eventbrite. “The Way We See the World” events are offered at no cost thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, Cherokee Preservation Foundation, Management Resource Associates, The Center for Native Health and Two Dots Studio.
