Schedule 12pm Edgar Calel artist talk 1:30pm Raven Chacon artist talk 3:00pm Sound Healing Ceremony with Guadalupe Maravilla* 6:00pm Sound Healing Ceremony with Guadalupe Maravilla* *The sound bath ceremony will last for one hour. Audiences are welcome to sit or lie down. A limited number of yoga blankets will be provided, but bringing your own yoga mat and/or blanket is suggested. Chairs will be made available on a limited basis, upon request. Bios Edgar Calel (b. 1987, Chi Xot, San Juan Comalapa, Guatemala) engages with topics related to the rich cultural heritage and rituals of Guatemala’s midwestern highlands, where he resides. Hailing from a family of Maya-Kaqchikel artists and artisans, Calel works across drawing, installation, painting, performance, and sculpture. His practice engages with sites and traditions around his hometown of Chi Xot as creative touchstones for works that meticulously interconnect localities, at home and internationally. The artist’s primary concerns include exploring the complexities of Indigenous experiences and representing the Maya-Kaqchikel worldview to new audiences. Recent solo exhibitions have taken place at Desapê, São Paulo (2023) and SculptureCenter, Queens, New York (2023). Selected group exhibitions have been held at Tate Modern, London (2025); Armada Galería, Mexico City (2024); the 35th São Paulo Biennial (2023); and Galeria de Artistas, São Paulo (2023). His work is included in the collections of Fundación TEOR/ética; Kadist Art Foundation; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía; Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, San José, Costa Rica; National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; Rijksmuseum; the Hammer Museum; and Tate Modern. Raven Chacon (b. 1977, Fort Defiance, Arizona) received a BFA from the University of New Mexico (2001) and an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts (2004). He is a Diné composer and artist who creates musical experiences that explore relationships among sound, space, and people. Chacon’s experimental practice cuts across the boundaries of visual art, performance, and music, breaking open musical traditions. The artist divides his time between New York and New Mexico. From 2009 to 2018, he was a member of the art collective Postcommodity, and is a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship (2023) and the Pulitzer Prize in Music (2022). His work has been presented at numerous venues and festivals including SITE SANTA FE (2024); the Whitney Biennial, New York (2022); the Borealis festival in Bergen, Norway (2021); the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2021); the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2020); the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago (2020); the Vancouver Art Gallery (2019); and the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival (2013). Guadalupe Maravilla (b. 1976, San Salvador, El Salvador) is a transdisciplinary visual artist, choreographer, and healer currently based in New York. At the age of eight, Maravilla was part of the first wave of unaccompanied, undocumented children to arrive at the United States border in the 1980s as a result of the Salvadoran Civil War. In 2008, he became a US citizen and adopted the name Guadalupe Maravilla in solidarity with his father. The artist grounds his practice in the historical and contemporary contexts of undocumented and cancer communities. He has performed and presented his work at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York (2018); the Drawing Center, New York (2019, 2020); the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (2024, 2021); the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2023, 2014); and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2024, 2019, 2018), among others. His work is in the permanent collections of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía; the Hammer Museum; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. Location: Hammer Museum
A Depression era-set Southern Gothic thriller, The Night of the Hunter tells an adult story through the eyes of children. Actor-turned-director Charles Laughton described it as a “fairy tale of the Big Bad Wolf’s pursuit of the Little Pigs.” Robert Mitchum stars as the wolf in preacher’s clothing pursuing the two children of a widow (Shelley Winter) who know about a stash of ill-gotten loot. A dream-like work thanks in part to the unique cinematography by Stanley Cortez, it turns feverishly on dualities — heaven and hell, good versus evil, the sacred and profane — while paying homage to the silent era with Lillian Gish also starring.—Theater Manager Lauren Brown Director: Charles Laughton. Screenwriters: James Agee, Charles Laughton. With: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish. Location: Billy Wilder Theater
