Throughout modern history, Mississippi artists have worked to revolutionize the media’s portrayal of the Magnolia State. Born in Mississippi, artists we consider “The Greats” like Elvis Presley, Eudora Welty, and Walter Anderson have each contributed to the fight against Mississippi's stigma. Today, talented artists across Mississippi have a different problem: artificial intelligence (AI). With the introduction of AI, how we create, view, and value art has changed. Though AI is revolutionizing our world, it cannot replace the artist's role of exploring Mississippi with a new perspective. This episode of the Real Mississippi is written, produced, and hosted by Margaret Parker and Bea Storment.
