Multihyphenate and multitalented artist, director, and educator Chella Man has continued to wow us with their work in various mediums — including painting, sculpture, writing, performance, film, tattooing, and curating. As a deaf, nonbinary, Chinese-Jewish person, Man has experienced being othered for much of their life and seeks to help change attitudes through their work.
In addition to their critically acclaimed performance piece Autonomy, which aims to shatter “the constraints of binary thinking” and celebrate “queer, disabled, and trans bodies,” the Jewish Museum in NYC featured an art installation by Man this year. The Frieze New York also recently featured their art film, The Device That Turned Me Into a Cyborg Was Born the Same Year I Was.
