artist · 2026-10-01

Sikkema Malloy Jenkins has revealed its representation of Raven Chacon, a composer, performer, and installation artist from Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation, who has won a Pulitzer Prize. Born in 1977, Chacon explores the relationships between people, sound, and space through his musical and visual works. His art often includes site-specific pieces that highlight a location's material and sonic characteristics, uncovering historically marginalized narratives—such as Indigenous memory, cultural stories, and the impacts of colonialism. The gallery hosted his inaugural solo exhibition, titled 'Scores for Coming Storms,' from May 14 to June 20, 2026. This representation underscores the gallery's commitment to artists whose work transcends traditional boundaries and engages with significant historical and social issues.
