Artist Talk — Britland Tracy

Episode Summary

Britland Tracy’s creative practice is an organic and intentional exploration of collective social norms in image and text. Her cinematic multi-media documentation flips narratives, reverses power structures and collapses siloes. She investigates how we see—and mirrors back some telling truths.

In this conversation, Britland discusses, among other things:

  • Camera as mediator

  • Gender constructs

  • Male vulnerability

  • Strong opinions, loosely held

  • Human-inflicted trauma

  • Sensationalizing violence

  • Working from a set of rules

  • Creative kinship

  • Serendipity

  • Applied abstractions of visual allegory

  • Interiority displayed
