Black Power Naps is a project by artists Navild Acosta and Sosa. It is a sculptural installation, vibrational device, and curatorial initiative that reclaims laziness and idleness as power.
Bob the Drag Queen is the alter ego of nonbinary comic/actor Caldwell Tidicue. Bob describes herself as “hilarious, beautiful, talented and...humble.” Bob’s unabashed confidence won her the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” on season eight of RuPaul’s Drag Race and multiple acting roles for HBO, Netflix, Sony Tristar, MTV, and VH1. Along with HBO’s first unscripted show, We’re Here, Bob has recently released her second comedy special, Bob the Drag Queen Live at Caroline’s and season four of Sibling Rivalry, the podcast she cohosts with her drag sister Monét X Change.
