Solo Performance I Raven Chacon: Live from Alcatraz

November 6, 2022 @ 2:00 pm

As part of Undoing Time: Art and Histories of Incarceration, composer Raven Chacon debuts a new sound-work on Alcatraz. The work is a sonic meditation on the histories of the island and its occupation for nineteen months beginning in November 1969 by the group Indians of All Tribes, as a protest regarding civil rights abuses at that time. The sound piece draws upon many sources, including archival sound footage of Radio Free Alcatraz, which broadcast news of the occupation from the island every weeknight for most of the first year of the protest.
