MISS TENNESSEE: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the South is a multimedia project of satirical portraits, videos, and performances examining Southern stereotypes through personal and political lenses. Drawing from the artist’s Nashville upbringing, it explores contradictions around gender, religion, patriotism, and right-wing nostalgia. The work builds MISS TENNESSEE Magazine, a spoof publication of staged portraits, profiles, and ads for an idealized housewife. Videos extend this world through a sermon, campaign ad, infomercial, and reality trailer, mimicking media systems that package identity, morality, and nostalgia. Blending documentary landscapes with performance, the project blurs authenticity and fabrication, using parody as clarity.
