Refractions of What We Thought Were Birds

Created by Gabriel Araújo & Dylan McLaughlin. Supported by the UT Austin Butler School of Music Rainwater Innovation Grant.

Refractions of What We Thought Were Birds is a collaborative multimedia performance synthesizing the patterns, textures, and cosmologies of lost sounds, resurfaced memories and imagined birds. It’s a series of meditations on centering stories of displacement, and the threatened loss of ancestral practices. Working alongside the Arte e Educação do Campo program at Universidade Federal do Norte do Tocantins, the piece was composed in response to several months of facilitated workshops with Apinajé communities in Brazil, addressing a nearly lost practice of instrument building.
