Man continues to educate and give talks internationally on the intersections of art, disability, queerness, race, and healing.

AUTONOMY : Behind The Scenes
“All of who I am now lies on a continuum-I no longer operate to fulfill roles that were illusions to begin with.”
In this deeply personal and introspective performance, Chella Man shares their narrative of self-determination, grief, healing, and reclamation of one’s body through tattooing and explorations of their scars from the medical industrial complex. To Man, piercing their skin is an act of erosion, revealing what lies beneath the surface, both within the body and the broader societal constructs we navigate. The piece compiles revelations of liberation that have become their leading values in life. Shattering the constraints of binary thinking, the performance celebrates queer, disabled, and trans bodies. Autonomy lives as an embodied experience, a testament to resilience and adaptability. Through this work, Man explores the continuum of art, disability, gender, and race by adapting and navigating their body as a mutable canvas for profound self-expression.

I have manifested this film since childhood, but its actualization could not exist in scarcity. Luckily, it has grown along with me, perspective and resources expanding. Shooting this piece required both the cast and production’s full hearts as we waded into our vulnerabilities. This ease was translated into the final film; we carried that rawness with us. And, when we stepped in front of the c...

This idea formed after searching far and wide for MY own history. It is on me to learn and discover because it was not taught at my school. This is a relatable sentence to many queer, disabled and/or people of color who feel their history has...

Very woah
Amazing, thank you for sharing Chella
I finished watching the video and i'm literally crying. I've watched Hitomi's chanel for a while now and i always admired her softness, the way she shows up in the world, the way she chooses love above everything else, the way she supports herself and other people. and now, knowing what she had to go through, and the way she transmuted all that pain into healing is just fucking magical and powerful
💔💔💔💔💔💔 now they are gone
man this made me tear up..
Just gotta comment, but this video here was part of my trans awakening and the start of exploring my gender. I saw this maybe.. 4 years ago? But I remember it felt like my world opened up because I didn’t know much about hrt or that you could pass as a guy. My perception on trans people, especially trans men, was incredibly skewed due to how little I understood about it. I didn’t know I was trans because of such lack of understanding, I didn’t know what I felt was dysphoria. I remember it was the first time it felt like there was hope, that maybe I can actually live my life as a guy the way I wanted to live. I’ve always had mental health problems that have technically gotten better but I’ve always felt stuck, moving through the motions feeling like I was in between living and dying. I never really felt alive, and I’ve just been perpetually uncomfortable in my body to the point where I’ve dissociated and look at my body through alien eyes. It took years of really trying to figure myself out and decide if transitioning is what I want, and I’m happy to say that I’m moving forward and will start testosterone in a week and a half. Ever since my first appointment I’ve finally felt alive, like I have something to look forward to finally. I felt my vision actually brighten, it’s insane how much I had been held back by this, I didn’t even know how bad it got. So hey, thanks for documenting your journey!

Goals, love it🥰

Omg, been popping in and out for a few years and holy it’s so crazy you’re here in germany! Also, just really happy for you, you’ve helped me on my journey being HOH and gay. Keep being you!
This video just popped up in my feed and I have to say that you're such a great teacher. The way you break down the components of each sign and show things from different angles really helps. Also addressing facial expressions and their importance to certain signs helps a lot too! I really appreciate all the thought and care you put into this!!
AWESOME!!!!

Bro why it's soo unfair for me looking at you you seem to be born on Japan as a male 😮😊
As long as your alive and has not changed or removed your body parts you can change and ask God to forgive you for your sins. Once dead there is no forgiveness
someday i'll fulfill the same dream and when that day comes, i'll be so happy
You guys where so cute and young
