At a time when our nation questions the efficacy of effigy, Arizona Arts Live is creating a space for the community to further explore the conversation around monuments and their meaning. Australian artmaker, Craig Walsh challenges the traditional concept of monuments to celebrate living, contributing, members of our Southern Arizona community. 

Monuments will take place each night from October 29 through November 29 in the trees of the University of Arizona. Projecting the faces of some of our local heroes in an outdoor environment that allows for physical distancing will provide the community an opportunity to engage with and enjoy this work at their own pace each evening.

Night Weather

Concerts from The Tucson Studio
Night Weather is an Indie Rock duo from Tucson, AZ who make music for both your next dance party or an existential crisis. Their time is split between touring and playing shows, shooting music videos, and creating live loop songs, using whatever inanimate objects they find. As a result, their music is full of intriguing sounds and unexpected instrumentation. Mike & Britt met as competitors during an indie musicians showcase in Colorado. Shortly after, they fell in love and settled down in Mike’s hometown of Tucson, AZ.  After writing and performing separately for years with multiple bands, they found themselves still struggling to find the musical voices they truly envisioned.  Instead of continuing down separate musical paths, they decided pursue their creative dreams together. Join us for the culmination of these creative dreams Thursday, October 15, at 6pm, and watch Night Weather’s color-drenched set in Centennial Hall. You won’t forget their ultra-creative instrumentation and catchy vocal melodies. Watch with us! Facebook Instagram

D Faktion Nyne

Concerts from The Tucson Studio
Founded as a means to heal grief through music, D Faktion Nyne is a multi-generational family band that gives deeper meaning to the term family. Performing Waila, a genre of Tohono O’odham folk music that combines Chotis, Mazurkas, Wailas, Kwaliyas, and Cumbias, music has bonded this family through multiple tragedies and many triumphs. Damon Enriquez, the father, has always used music as a means to connect with his family and his community.  From his musical origins playing with his grandfather, he now counts 150 high school and middle school students as his musical pupils. Above all Waila is social, and as a result it brings people and cultures together.  D Faktion Nyne features four brothers, two sisters, and their dad having fun playing Waila. They have no rules and no boundaries, with ALL members having equal say in everything they do.
