“ Chacon’s work in sound and radio art installations has been some of the mos t moving\, innovative and critical work raising important questions about s ite and land\,” –Lisa Myers\, artist and assistant professor at York University.
Join us for a conversation with artist Autumn Star Chacon who is t he 2021-2022 Geoffrey & Margaret Andrew Fellow.
Autumn Star Chacon is a member of both t he Dine and Chicanx Nations and is a mother to a Dine/Oglala daughter. She is an abstract\, conceptual\, installation\, and performance artist.
Chacon's traditional teachings as a D ine woman are reflected in art/activism praxis. Modern communication tools are borne from our most basic teachings around language\, speech and the ac t of speaking out loud\; and the continuation of knowledge through technolo gy is the involvement with many natural sciences and their ability to affec t the world around us. With no lack of stories to be told\, Chacon strives to engage through new media technologies even if her stories are very old. Many of her pieces are about Indigenous futurisms where electronic communic ation and technology has a sacred relevance\, often exemplifying skills as a self-taught electronic engineer.
