Join us in the auditorium for an evening with composer and multimedia artist Raven Chacon to learn more about Chacon’s recent works—some of which are featured in An Indigenous Present—that use scores and field recordings as media for relaying narratives of place.
Presented in partnership with the Indigenous Studies Seminar at Vanderbilt University
