State Tuned

State Tuned 10 Classes. 3 Quarters. Over 250 Students. A Mobile Phone App and Mixed-Media Art Installation. If not to represent, what other purposes does a state song have?

The fervor around selecting a new state song points to the importance of music as a form of expression and identity, but what are the polit

ics of trying to select one song to represent a state’s population? Pride and unity? A voice for marginalized histories? Commentary on the influence of geography and history on art-making?
