Raven Chacon (2012 Creative Capital Awardee) is a composer, performer, and visual artist, creating musical experiences that explore relationships among sound, space, and people. Born within the Navajo Nation, he has developed a practice that connects Diné (Navajo) worldviews and relationship models with Western classical, avant-garde, and art music traditions. A MacArthur Fellow and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Music making him the first Native American to receive this honor, his score-based creations encourage collaboration among performers and audiences and incorporate both found sounds, such as rifles, foghorns, whistles, and coins with natural elements. His unique artistry is showcased when he comes to the Veterans Room to create a new work that that cuts across boundaries of visual art and performance in his ongoing illumination of landscapes, their inhabitants, and histories.
