RAVEN CHACON: A WORM’S EYE VIEW FROM A BIRD’S BEAK by Alison Coplan, Katya Garcia-Anton, Stefanie Hessler
The first ever monograph on the groundbreaking work of artist and composer Raven Chacon.
Raven Chacon is a composer and artist creating musical experiences that explore relationships among land, space, and people. In an experimental practice that cuts across the boundaries of visual art, performance, and music, Chacon breaks open musical traditions and activates spaces of performance where the histories of the lands the United States has encroached upon can be contemplated, questioned, and reimagined. In 2022, Raven Chacon became the first Native American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and was awarded a prestigious MacArthur “genius” fellowship in 2023.
