Raven Chacon: Three Songs brings together three of Chacon’s projects that pay tribute to Indigenous women through sound, video, and visual work.

In the series For Zitkála-Šá (2018), composer Chacon created musical arrangements dedicated to different contemporary Indigenous, First Nation, or Mestiza women working in music performance, composition, or sound art. The video installation Three Songs (2021) features Indigenous women singing as they reoccupy sites of historic massacres, displacement, or relocation of tribal people. The final work, Silent Choir (2016–2017), is a field recording Chacon made while taking part in the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, which captures the silent protest of 600 water protectors facing police and security forces.
