In a conversation with Associate Editor Phillip Pyle, Diné musician Raven Chacon discusses his recent improvised performances at the Park Avenue Armory, the “collision” at the heart of all music, and reclaiming the technologies of colonial violence through sound. Read on for a guide to shows centering Native art around New York City — including Shelley Niro and Sarah Sense, two of my favorite artists — and a critique of a Felix Gonzalez-Torres exhibition that bizarrely glosses over the late artist’s AIDS advocacy and political spirit. *—Lakshmi Rivera Amin, associate editor* --- [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/10/chacon.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/raven-chacon-sounds-the-history-of-the-land/) [ Raven Chacon Sounds the History of the Land ](https://hyperallergic.com/raven-chacon-sounds-the-history-of-the-land/) On Wednesday and Thursday night, sound mixers, synthesizers, pedals, speakers, whistles, a turkey call, and a ceramic horn sat on a table at the center of the Veterans Room in Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory.
