Dister Rondon has danced in movies, on VH1, and in national ads for Apple, Verizon, and the Gap, and you’ve seen his art all over upper Manhattan—inside George Washington High School, for example, or at 172nd and Amsterdam, where you'll find his mural thanking essential workers. In 2004 Dister created the I Love My Hood project to promote and preserve the Washington Heights he grew up in. I Love My Hood is now a worldwide collective of artists, educators and activists dedicated to serving the greater good through Hip Hop. Join your host Aaron Simms as he talks to Dister about the joys and challenges of making Black art in upper Manhattan.
