Not Peaceable and Quiet (Piñata Sound System)

Project Details

About the Project

Josh Rios, Anthony Romero, and Matt Joynt presented a newly commissioned performance and mobile sound monument for Counterpublic. Arising in resistance to legacies of over-policing in communities of color, specifically through noise ordinances, and the contexts of Cherokee Street as the center of Latinx culture in St. Louis, their mobile monument temporarily filled the streets with an unruly sound installation roaming through the neighborhood as a siren sound evading capture.
