Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, performer and installation artist Raven Chacon creates evocative and powerful multidisciplinary works that challenge, question and reframe America’s colonial legacy from an Indigenous perspective. Born in Fort Defiance on the Navajo Nation, his experimental practice invites audiences to question the narratives that shape our world.
This Phil Lind Initiative event features a live performance of Chacon’s work Horse Notations alongside a conversation with moderator Jarrett Martineau that reflects on the on-going legacies of colonialism and how they challenge and unsettle notions of “American” identity.
