Dylan McLaughlin is a multidisciplinary artist looking critically to ecologies of extraction and threatened ecosystems. He weaves Diné mythology, ecological data, and environmental histories while holding space for complexity. What transpires is the sonification of relationships to land through experimental music composition and improvised performance. In his multi-media installation and performative works, he looks to engage the poetics and politics of human relations to land.

He is a current recipient of the NACF LIFT award. He received his BFA in New Media Arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and his MFA in Art & Ecology at the University of New Mexico. He is currently an Early Career Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin.
