On Oct. 8, Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater (REDCAT), CalArts’ center for contemporary arts in downtown Los Angeles, proudly presents the Oklahoma Intertribal Noise Symposium 2022.

American Indian experimental sound artists Autumn Chacon, Kite, TickSuck, Robbie Wing, and Nathan Young present a constellation of sonic experiments across genres, inspired by Young’s 2019 Tulsa event “Oklahoma Intertribal Noise Symposium.” This program includes noise musicians, drone poets, field recordists, and performance artists, “creating and destroying sound worlds and embodying Indigenous sonic agency,” as Young describes.

In conjunction, on Oct. 7 and 8, artists Alisha Wormsley and Kite present a tactile collage of thinking, becoming, speaking, and dreaming—not across from but next to and with each other. The audience is invited to experience a piece from “Black and Indigenous Dreaming Workshop” while lying down and at rest. After doing so, they can then imagine these voices next to them and use this conversation as a starting point for co-dreaming a new world.
