Nana Chinara creates. She’s Black, Queer, and a gleaming glitterbeam. She dreams up worlds in her body, and offers them to the stage. A performance artist, youth educator, and loquacious lover, her craft calls upon exploring sweet intimacy with the self, and seeking the truths in her heart. From contemporary to burlesque to healing to revealing, she’s fascinated with her journey to liberating her body. Her art is the lens through which she conducts self and community research on violence against young black femmes, traumatic partnerships, and multidimensional love.
