I am joined this week by Mississippi Conceptual Artist and Professor Kristen Tordella-Williams who just floods knowledge all over this episode. She shares about her journey with Art into a profession, teaching equality in the classroom (referenced books and authors listed below), tips on how to be a better artist and human, and some much needed advice on bringing Public Arts into your communities.
