Raven Chacon is a composer and artist creating musical experiences that explore relationships among land, space, and people. In an experimental practice that cuts across the boundaries of visual art, performance, and music, Chacon breaks open musical traditions and activates spaces of performance where the histories of the lands the United States has encroached upon can be contemplated, questioned, and reimagined. In 2022, Raven Chacon became the first Native American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and was awarded a prestigious MacArthur "genius" fellowship in 2023.

The publication features newly commissioned texts including three long-form essays by Aruna DSouza, Anthony Huberman, and Dylan Robinson/Patrick Nickleson; experimental short-form writing by Raven Chacon, Lou Cornum, Ingir B l Nango, Marja B l Nango, Eric-Paul Riege, nde Somby, and Sigbj rn Sk den; an introduction by Katya Garcia-Ant n and Stefanie Hessler; and a conclusion by Candice Hopkins.
