A Living Language: Cherokee Syllabary in Contemporary Art
A Living Language: Cherokee Syllabary and Contemporary Art featured over 50 works of art in a variety of media by more than 30 Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) and Cherokee Nation artists.
The exhibition highlighted the use of the written Cherokee language, a syllabary developed by Cherokee innovator Sequoyah (circa 1776–1843).
The exhibition was organized by the Asheville Art Museum and Museum of the Cherokee People. It was curated by Hilary Schroeder with assistance from curatorial consultant Joshua Adams (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians). Made possible in part by a grant from the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership and sponsored in part by Cherokee Preservation Foundation and Kevin Click & April Liou in memory of Myron E. Click.
