We’d like to give an official welcome to our JR Artist Chella Man! (@chellaman) Chella had apprenticed under H and Who this past year and is now taking appointments. “Man is a multidisciplinary artist, author, and director reshaping the way we understand identity, embodiment, and liberation. At the intersection of disability and transness, their practice is grounded in the belief that identity is not fixed, but a living breathing continuum. Their artistry is inseparable from their lived experience as deaf, transmasculine, genderqueer, Chinese and Jewish. Their experience reveals the fractures and fortitude of navigating a world built without you in mind. Chella fills in those missed identities and excels in creating pieces that embody their lived experience.” Check out their website to book an appointment!
