Duncan began his career in the late '60s in New York's off-Broadway scene and has held various artistic roles, including directing youth theater programs. His latest work is with SFBATCO on the musical Every Saturday Night. Dunye, a prominent filmmaker known for The Watermelon Woman, has directed episodes of popular series and emphasizes her connection to Oakland, a significant cultural hub. The Rainin Foundation's fellowship aims to support Bay Area artists and address financial challenges in the arts community.
"Oakland is historically, one of the most powerful Black places and woman spaces and queer spaces in the world. Oakland is where I want to be. I feel complete. I feel agency."
"This fellowship is a signal that Bay Area artists are still being seen, supported and given the runway to lead future generations."
