Raven Chacon "Drum Grid" Performance
#fhtogglels/Details/Close/ib
Raven Chacon’s Drum Grid is a composition for numerous drummers, each positioned on a street corner throughout the Benton Park neighborhood. Beginning with a single drum hit from one player, subsequent drummers imitate the sound of the previous drummer down the block, with the gesture evolving as it travels around the neighborhood.

Juan William Chávez: Native Bee Workshop + Open House
#fhtogglels/Details/Close/ib
Though the native bee sanctuary is sited at Chávez’s Northside Workshop, the project invites visitors and participants to reexamine their assumptions about vacancy throughout the city. Empty lots are bee sanctuaries. To recognize vacancy as sanctuary is to also remember the Native and Black lives that have been displaced, and ultimately to see the mechanisms of dispossession and intentional property blighting at work.
