Darvejon A. Jones (pronounced: dar—vee—yawn)  is a Black father +  an “articulate” dance-based multimodal artist committed to creating work reflecting Black experiences. He sees his artistic multiplicity as a vital survival mechanism, believing shapeshifting is part of his ancestral memory. Jones is deeply interested in how symbolism, metaphor, history, and context intertwine within dance performance, viewership, and interpretation.
