Inspired by the Audioramas of Mexico City, our Cuk Ṣon Audiorama is located on the east side of Centennial Hall on the Historic University of Arizona Mall. Cuk Ṣon is the Tohono O’odham name for Tucson, referring to the 17th-century O’odham village at the base of “Black Hill or Mountain.”

It is an open-air concert auditorium, and there are several places to sit surrounded by speakers that play music all day. The type of music differs by the day of the week. Bring a book or borrow one, escape the noise and craziness around us, and sit with nature.
Cuk Son Audiorama was designed by Arzate Design Group of Tucson in collaboration with Old Pueblo Hemp Co., Ponderosa Cactus, Civano Growers, AYJ Construction, Desert Streams and Gardens, University of Arizona Facilities Management and built by CAPLA Students and Arizona Arts Live.
