Chella Man Instagram - It’s no coincidence that we met.

My brothers, Nefe and Tau, in the very state I am learning to recreate home.

Chella Man Instagram - This is Nefe.

We were meant to meet. A few months ago, we created a pocket of home together.

When he spoke of the safety he felt here, his hands instinctively held the right side of his chest - an area finally free.

What does home feel like?
An area finally free, he echoed.

Designing a reminder of the safety he built, the safety we were both familiar with building — ourselves — was inevitable.

For initial sketches, I asked him yet again, to hold himself. Tracing the trajectory of his fingers, I etched a roof for his home. 

The foundation of this home, of safety, of this tattoo is upheld by the very scars that freed him.

Chella Man Instagram - Preparing to become a certified personal trainer later this year following my performance, “Autonomy” in May! ☄️

It has always been a dream of mine to personally guide disabled, queer individuals into healing their body and mind with ease. 

Few questions for those in the field:
Where are the best courses to take both online or in person?

Where are my deafie CPTs? Would love to connect on accessibility inside the industry and throughout your time studying!

can’t wait to continue to see disabled, queer spaces THRIVE !

Chella Man Instagram - i found CK online in high school when i was trying to find myself.

..in some ways, I did find a part of me.

searching for “deaf Asian women artist” (like me at the time) - unfortunately, there is not much information to publicly gather within my community’s history. Not because there are not MANY of us, but because others have not deemed our stories worthy of recognition.

@chrisunkim, thank you for being family.
for your love, for your representation.
For your art.

Grateful to have one of many moments between us documented this way. It was pure joy to chat with you about my show at @hannahtraoregallery !

And of course, thank you, @interviewmag!

Chella Man Instagram - writing my script for Autonomy, toying with intentional inaccessibility

mourning the irony of having to release a statement prior to the performance on intentional inaccessibility within moments of the piece as in-access within art spaces — within the world — is painfully expected by disabled individuals

Chella Man Instagram - As always, never underestimate the power of telling your story.

As a little non-binary boy growing up in conservative Central Pennsylvania, I always expected my dreams to remain dreams.

It gives me hope to admit this is just the beginning.

I feel fueled to continuously share my visions beginning with my solo show at Hannah Traore Gallery opening January 11th in NYC and my upcoming performance with The Jewish Museum and Performance Space NY on May 2nd next year.

Beyond this, I look forward to continuing to design and build community based spaces of safety and liberation for queer, disabled, BIPOC artists.

There is absolutely no way I would be here without the collective love and support from my chosen and biological family   all those who have paved the way for equity. To be listed alongside these radiant dreamers is a deep honor! 

Having turned 25 just two days ago, this is the best belated birthday gift I could have asked for! 

Forever grateful.

Forever free.

Thank you all for the never ending love and support. 

C xoxo

I feel fueled to continuously share my visions beginning with my solo show at Hannah Traore Gallery opening January 11th in NYC and my upcoming performance with The Jewish Museum and Performance Space NY on May 2nd next year.

Beyond this, I look forward to continuing to design and build community based spaces of safety and liberation for queer, disabled, BIPOC artists.

There is absolutely no way I would be here without the collective love and support from my chosen and biological family   all those who have paved the way for equity. To be listed alongside these radiant dreamers is a deep honor! 

Having turned 25 just two days ago, this is the best belated birthday gift I could have asked for! 

Forever grateful.

Forever free.

Thank you all for the never ending love and support.

Chella Man Instagram - “I no longer operate to fulfill roles that were illusions to begin with.”

This is the impulse guiding @chellaman in ‘Autonomy,’ their latest work of performance and installation. On view at @thejewishmuseum through September 15, in the group show “Overflow, Afterglow: New Work in Chromatic Figuration,” the piece is a meditation on self-determination and resilience. In a performance in May at @performance.space.new.york, the artist confronted a silicone mold of their own form, using this “clone” as a site for an inquiry into the intersections of the medical industry, deaf visibility, gender dysphoria, and queer kinship. Through tattooing and piercing the mold, Chella Man sculpts a moving rejoinder to the binaries imposed on bodies. The mold on view at the Jewish Museum acts as an ever-evolving testament to the performance and the farrago of themes it surfaced.

Chella Man Instagram - In a deeply personal performance art piece titled “Autonomy,” artist @chellaman explores identity, embodiment, and self-determination. The two-part work, which debuted on May 2nd, sees Man engage with a hyper-realistic silicone sculpture - a “clone” cast from their own form. ⁠
⁠
At the heart of “Autonomy” lies a powerful act of reclamation. Man pierces, erodes, and transforms the mold of themselves, treating their body as a mutable canvas for self-expression. They lovingly tattoo replicas of their own body art onto the clone’s flesh, some becoming visible only as Man strips away the outer layers of silicone skin - emphasizing that tattoos are not mere surface adornments, but are evocations of something primal and internal. ⁠

Chella Man Instagram - Nex Benedict, you are deeply loved.

The way you knew yourself and protected your soul is commendable. I am so sorry; you deserved so much more.

I, too, grew up in a deeply queerphobic school district and was confronted in the bathroom to various degrees of hostility more times than I can count throughout my childhood. The district did not protect me either.

I hope superintendent Ryan Walters, Owasso Public Schools and the anti-trans legislation in Oklahoma can reconnect with their humanity and decide to lead with love and protection for trans individuals and youth.

Chella Man - 17.9K Likes - This is Nefe.

We were meant to meet. A few months ago, we created a pocket of home together.

When he spoke of the safety he felt here, his hands instinctively held the right side of his chest - an area finally free.

What does home feel like?
An area finally free, he echoed.

Designing a reminder of the safety he built, the safety we were both familiar with building — ourselves — was inevitable.

For initial sketches, I asked him yet again, to hold himself. Tracing the trajectory of his fingers, I etched a roof for his home. 

The foundation of this home, of safety, of this tattoo is upheld by the very scars that freed him.

Chella Man - 13.5K Likes - Preparing to become a certified personal trainer later this year following my performance, “Autonomy” in May! ☄️

It has always been a dream of mine to personally guide disabled, queer individuals into healing their body and mind with ease. 

Few questions for those in the field:
Where are the best courses to take both online or in person?

Where are my deafie CPTs? Would love to connect on accessibility inside the industry and throughout your time studying!

can’t wait to continue to see disabled, queer spaces THRIVE !

Caption : Preparing to become a certified personal trainer later this year following my performance, “Autonomy” in May! ☄️ It has always been a dream of mine to personally guide disabled, queer individuals into healing their body and mind with ease. Few questions for those in the field: Where are the best courses to take both online or in person? Where are my deafie CPTs? Would love to connect on accessibility inside the industry and throughout your time studying! can’t wait to continue to see disabled, queer spaces THRIVE !

Chella Man - 11.8K Likes - i found CK online in high school when i was trying to find myself.

..in some ways, I did find a part of me.

searching for “deaf Asian women artist” (like me at the time) - unfortunately, there is not much information to publicly gather within my community’s history. Not because there are not MANY of us, but because others have not deemed our stories worthy of recognition.

@chrisunkim, thank you for being family.
for your love, for your representation.
For your art.

Grateful to have one of many moments between us documented this way. It was pure joy to chat with you about my show at @hannahtraoregallery !

And of course, thank you, @interviewmag!

Chella Man - 11.3K Likes - writing my script for Autonomy, toying with intentional inaccessibility

mourning the irony of having to release a statement prior to the performance on intentional inaccessibility within moments of the piece as in-access within art spaces — within the world — is painfully expected by disabled individuals

What do you wish you had more access to?

Chella Man - 9.1K Likes - As always, never underestimate the power of telling your story.

As a little non-binary boy growing up in conservative Central Pennsylvania, I always expected my dreams to remain dreams.

It gives me hope to admit this is just the beginning.

I feel fueled to continuously share my visions beginning with my solo show at Hannah Traore Gallery opening January 11th in NYC and my upcoming performance with The Jewish Museum and Performance Space NY on May 2nd next year.

Beyond this, I look forward to continuing to design and build community based spaces of safety and liberation for queer, disabled, BIPOC artists.

There is absolutely no way I would be here without the collective love and support from my chosen and biological family   all those who have paved the way for equity. To be listed alongside these radiant dreamers is a deep honor! 

Having turned 25 just two days ago, this is the best belated birthday gift I could have asked for! 

Forever grateful.

Forever free.

Thank you all for the never ending love and support. 

C xoxo

Chella Man - 8K Likes - “I no longer operate to fulfill roles that were illusions to begin with.”

This is the impulse guiding @chellaman in ‘Autonomy,’ their latest work of performance and installation. On view at @thejewishmuseum through September 15, in the group show “Overflow, Afterglow: New Work in Chromatic Figuration,” the piece is a meditation on self-determination and resilience. In a performance in May at @performance.space.new.york, the artist confronted a silicone mold of their own form, using this “clone” as a site for an inquiry into the intersections of the medical industry, deaf visibility, gender dysphoria, and queer kinship. Through tattooing and piercing the mold, Chella Man sculpts a moving rejoinder to the binaries imposed on bodies. The mold on view at the Jewish Museum acts as an ever-evolving testament to the performance and the farrago of themes it surfaced.

The mold on view at the Jewish Museum acts as an ever-evolving testament to the performance and the farrago of themes it surfaced.

Caption : “I no longer operate to fulfill roles that were illusions to begin with.” This is the impulse guiding @chellaman in ‘Autonomy,’ their latest work of performance and installation. On view at @thejewishmuseum through September 15, in the group show “Overflow, Afterglow: New Work in Chromatic Figuration,” the piece is a meditation on self-determination and resilience.

Taking the past year to archive and curate these pieces to hang among each other has allowed me to visually connect personal revelations that I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise.

Chella Man - 6.7K Likes - In a deeply personal performance art piece titled “Autonomy,” artist @chellaman explores identity, embodiment, and self-determination. The two-part work, which debuted on May 2nd, sees Man engage with a hyper-realistic silicone sculpture - a “clone” cast from their own form. ⁠
⁠
At the heart of “Autonomy” lies a powerful act of reclamation. Man pierces, erodes, and transforms the mold of themselves, treating their body as a mutable canvas for self-expression. They lovingly tattoo replicas of their own body art onto the clone’s flesh, some becoming visible only as Man strips away the outer layers of silicone skin - emphasizing that tattoos are not mere surface adornments, but are evocations of something primal and internal. ⁠

Chella Man - 5.6K Likes - Nex Benedict, you are deeply loved.

The way you knew yourself and protected your soul is commendable. I am so sorry; you deserved so much more.

I, too, grew up in a deeply queerphobic school district and was confronted in the bathroom to various degrees of hostility more times than I can count throughout my childhood. The district did not protect me either.

I hope superintendent Ryan Walters, Owasso Public Schools and the anti-trans legislation in Oklahoma can reconnect with their humanity and decide to lead with love and protection for trans individuals and youth.
