Divad Durant

Divad Durant is a multi-media artist, community organizer, and educator. In 2012 he participated in an action called "Three Strikes You're In", in partnership with the Yes Men, to bring attention to the alarming numbers of people of color being stopped and frisked by the NYPD in NYC. He is also working on an experimental documentary called "A Bronx Tale" which uses home video, found footage, performative ethnography, and filmic depictions of his home borough to cultivate the multiple imaginations of the Bronx. He is currently working on a transmedia project called "Letters to a Black Concious Youth" a multi-platform media project intended to create a supportive community of Black Concious Youth. When no one is looking, he sings songs, writes rhymes and reads comic books. (you can find my video work on my blog post listed below)
