Danya Sherman | Strategic Consultant in Community Development & the Arts

I had the pleasure of first meeting Danya at the Now + There Nick Cave Joy++ parade. When it began to rain, we both took cover under a small awning and struck up a conversation. I knew I wanted to find time for a longer conversation so we met up a month or so later at the yummy Forge Bakery. Danya has a master’s from MIT in City Planning and works on a range of interesting projects. As she states on her website, She believes “in praxis - bridging inquiry, lived experience, and best practice together to make more effective and equitable institutions, programs, and campaigns.” Over a delicious cookie and tea/coffee, we discussed the Boston arts community and her work as a researcher and writer.
