mikewindy=Mikey Mitchell

Arts and Social Practice professor at Tennessee State University, an HBCU in Nashville, TN.

I am a social practice artist with a painter’s eye and a sculptor’s hand, blending folk and conceptual traditions. My work uses color and humor as resistance to the negative ramifications of living in an increasingly complicated world. My signature, mikewindy, is a love note to my wife Windy, my first name and hers, lowercase and conjoined.

mikewindy is the founder and host of the Drawing South Podcast that has archived over 100 conversations with artists like SWOON, Will Hoge, Jason Moran, Donna Woodley, Jodi Hays, Ken Coomer, Pat Sansone, Ara Tucker, Jim Sherraden, Mekons, Jerry Pentecost, Joe Perrin, Sam Dunson, and over 70 more! https://open.spotify.com/episode/3mM8PlZrtuYWvmFRdbCLv9?si=dWZKXI-1TEyAAjGtamQ4UA
