Anderson is a featured artist in the new Guggenheim Museum exhibit The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 18601989, which, according to the exhibit literature, "traces how Asian art, literature, and philosophy were transmitted and transformed within American cultural and intellectual currents, influencing the articulation of new visual and conceptual languages." Laurie's involvement stems from her study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism and meditation. In the House. In the Fire. Stories 1972–2008, a collection of spoken stories and sounds associated with her performance work, is included in the exhibit, which runs through April 19.

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
