Raven Chacon, Aviary

Raven Chacon (b. 1977, Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation) is a composer and artist who frequently works with the materials and histories of a given site and who considers, as he puts it, “what has been silenced and what happens when it is not.” Aviary, his site-specific commission for Arts and Letters’s North Gallery, creates a soundscape that makes space and time for careful listening.
