Brittney Frantece Portfolio

Brittney Frantece is a writer, artist, educator, curator, and PhD candidate in the English Department at the University of Washington (UW). She studies Black feminist speculative fiction and art through cultural studies readings that are centered around concepts of speculation, experimentation, surrealism, and horror. In her dissertation, she considers the ways Black literary and visual arts distort reality to reveal the ecstatic practices of Black communities and peoples, herself included, to transcend limitations and queer reality. She teaches for UW’s Expository Writing Program and has conducted workshops for The Northwest School and Henry Arts Gallery. Her writing has appeared in Variable West, Black Embodiments Studios Journals, Hawai‘i Review chapbook, and various art writing collections. Her art has been exhibited at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery in Seattle, The Manifest and Lana Lane Studios in Honolulu, and The Beans Gallery in Chicago.
