In this episode, Carl Paoli sat down with Anthony Denaro, M.F.A, aka YNOT, who explores the design, sustainability, history, and community of Hip Hop. Through a futurist lens, YNOT’s work manifests in dance, typography, music, and architecture.
YNOT’s reputation in the dance world precedes him. As a B-boy, he’s traveled the world extensively, judging battles, teaching workshops, and building cultural awareness.
In YNOT’s vision of the sustainability of Hip Hop, teaching and mentorship are paramount. Currently, his classes can be found on a workshop basis internationally, as well as online and in person through the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Arizona State University, and Texas Tech, where he facilitates Breaking Technique, Stylized Letterform Design, and Sound Design for Electronic Music Production.
Alongside his dance and professorship, YNOT both physically and digitally creates two and three-dimensional visual works that construct a possible future of the Hip Hop aesthetic.
