About the MacArthur Fellows

Teresita Fernández (2005 Fellow) expansively rethinks what constitutes landscape. Her artistic practice and research moves from the subterranean to the cosmic, and from political borders to the elusive psychic landscapes people carry within. Unraveling the intimacies between matter, human beings, and locations, Fernández poetically challenges ideas of site and landscape by exposing the history of colonization and the inherent violence embedded in how we imagine and define place, and, by extension, one another.

Natalie Diaz (2018 Fellow) is a poet blending personal, political, and cultural references in works that challenge the systems of belief underlying contemporary American culture. She connects her own experiences as a Mojave American and Latina woman to widely recognized cultural and mythological touchstones, creating a personal mythology that viscerally conveys the oppression and violence that continue to afflict Indigenous Americans in a variety of forms.

Raven Chacon (2023 Fellow) is a composer and artist creating musical experiences that explore relationships among sound, space, and people. In an experimental practice that cuts across the boundaries of visual art, performance, and music, Chacon breaks open musical traditions and activates spaces of performance where the histories of the lands the United States has encroached upon can be contemplated, questioned, and reimagined.
