One Road
The Passage at Ross' Landing in Chattanooga, Tennessee is the largest and most significant public art installation of contemporary Southeastern Native American art in the United States. Created by a team of five Cherokee artists in Oklahoma, the art in The Passage teaches important lessons about how public art can create places of meaning, memories, healing, joy and wonder. One Road is an independently produced documentary short that tells the story of how the artists symbolically returned to their ancestral homeland in the Tennessee valley, and how a city came to terms with its past by creating a powerful interpretation of the history of Ross' Landing.
About One Road
One Road tells the remarkable story of 'Gadugi', the team of Cherokee artists who created the highly acclaimed art installation at Chattanooga's waterfront. The film traces the project from its early discussions through the fabrication and installation of the commemorative work that now graces the downtown Chattanooga landmark.
