Mikael Chukwuma Owunna, a queer Nigerian-Swedish artist raised in Pittsburgh, has spent the past two and a half years photographing Black men and women for a series titled Infinite Essence. Hand-painted using fluorescent paints and photographed in complete darkness, Owunna’s subjects are illuminated by a flash outfitted with a UV filter, which turns their nude bodies into glowing celestial figures.
Owunna tells Colossal that the series was his response to the frequent images and videos of Black people being killed by those sworn to protect them: the police. The photographer’s friends, family members, dancers, and one person he connected with on Instagram serve as models for the project, which is named after an idea from his Igbo heritage. “All of our individual spirits are just one ray of the infinite essence of the sun,” Owunna explains. “By transcending the visible spectrum, I work to illuminate a world beyond our visible structures of racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia where the black body is free.”
This dance teacher went viral for doing cartwheels in pink thigh-high boots to tackle bullying!
Dremon Cooper is a 19-year-old from Washington, DC. He’s a dance teacher for an LGBT nonprofit called Casa Ruby.
Cooper told that he’s a goofy person who loves to laugh and make skits and, more recently, created a new superhero character. Cooper says the name of the character is Super Bitch, but fans have started to call the superhero “Him Possible.” The character was created to show that bullying and violence are not OK.
I’m convince those boots have super powers ♥️❤️
