Conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winner Raven Chacon

Artist and composer Raven Chacon is the first Native American awarded the Pulitzer Prize for music for his composition Voiceless Mass. He has exhibited widely and to great
acclaim as a solo artist and member of the art collective Postcommodity
(2009–2018). Chacon’s lithograph Horse Notations—produced at the Crow’s
Shadow Institute of the Arts, located on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation—was on display in the exhibition “In Translation: Prints Across Media” at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center. Chacon joined for a conversation about art, music, and Indigeneity, followed by a performance of the experimental composition Horse Notations.
