Welcome to another episode of the Museum of Presence. Our guest, the remarkably warm and genuine artist, Brittney Boyd Bullock, invites us into her creative world. Growing up in Memphis, Brittney talks about the importance of relationships in her hometown, a small community where everyone is closely connected.

As a mother and artist, she embraces a "slow process" in her art, a deliberate choice to slow down, inviting gentleness into her work, and ultimately sharing that softness with those around her. Brittney's ethos revolves around listening to and honoring our elders and ancestors, a theme that shines through our conversation.

She brings up the iconic Nina Simone, offering a rich layer of understanding to her artistic philosophy. This episode is a breath of fresh air, a testament to a different picture of what an artist can be.
