Shaping the Culture. By Jovan Landry

CURATED BY KARMYN STEWART— “My name is Jovan Landry, I am 28 years old and I’m an interdisciplinary artist from Chicago. My focus is on filmmaking, photography and hip-hop music, but I also have other creative gifts. For years, I’ve used the slogan “⅓ filmmaker, ⅓ photographer and ⅓ emcee. I don’t allow myself to choose one over the other because I am passionate about them all and they all interconnect together: Whether I’m editing my music videos or creating graphics out of photographs that I’ve taken are ways I’ve utilized my skills to the fullest capacity. I create because media is so powerful in terms of getting out information, and I want a hand in shaping the culture through my voice and with my gifts.”
