Voiceless Mass, Raven Chacon and Scottish Ensemble (2025) (EMPIRE LINES x Fruitmarket, Edinburgh Art Festival 2025)

Composer and artist Raven Chacon amplifies the Catholic Church’s complicity in the suppression of Indigenous people in the Americas, through their composition for organ, Voiceless Mass (2021).


Raven Chacon’s Voiceless Mass was performed at St. Giles’ Cathedral in August 2025, as part of Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF) 2025.


Deep Time 2025: I See Red, curated by Raven Chacon, is at Fruitmarket in Edinburgh from 27 November 2025 to 29 November 2025. This edition of the annual festival of new music accompanies the exhibition of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith’s work, Wilding, which continues at Fruitmarket in Edinburghuntil 1 February 2026.


Raven Chacon’s Silent Choir (2017) is part of this edition of the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA), which continues until 30 November 2025.
