Museum and Music: Raven Chacon Drum Grid
Arts/Entertainment
Raven Chacon (Diné) is a composer, performer, and installation artist born at Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation. In 2022, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music for his composition Voiceless Mass, and in 2023 was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship. He has exhibited, performed, or had works performed at LACMA, The Whitney Biennial, Borealis Festival, SITE Santa Fe, The Kennedy Center, and more. As an educator, Chacon is the senior composer mentor for the Native American Composer Apprentice Project (NACAP). For Drum Grid, Raven Chacon uses a local neighborhood to orchestrate a call-and-response composition for numerous drummers, each positioned on a street corner or city system. Over time, new rhythms and patterns emerge as the surrounding cityscape creates echoes and polyphony. For Chacon, in performing Drum Grid, a community has the agency to change the landscape of their neighborhood, activating potential questions and new generative urgencies.
