ANancy, LLC was founded by Michelle Wild.

Driven by a passionate, nontraditional photo-artist, Michelle, who is carrying the torch for her best friend, an early supporter of ACT UP, now departed, she is determined to make a difference with her art.

Anansi is a Ghanaian folktale character who became a powerful symbol of resistance for enslaved people. Although a spider, he is portrayed as a man of extraordinary skill and wisdom in speech who uses his skill as a trickster to cunningly turn the tables on his powerful oppressors. Just as the Anansi tales enabled enslaved Africans to assert their identity during captivity, the Anansy Company will offer support for marginalized LGBTQ youth to empower them to turn the tables on bigotry and help them build a more civilized society for all.

Misson
Anancy’s mission is to empower marginalized LGBTQ youth who have lost their way… whether through failure of the “system,” family issues or just from a stroke of bad luck … to help them acquire the life and work skills necessary to live more fulfilling lives and build a more tolerant society. Driven by a passionate, nontraditional photo-artist, MichelleWild, who is carrying the torch for her best friend, an early supporter of ACT UP, now departed, she is determined to make a difference with her art. Anancy is uniquely ambitious to wield images of LBGTQ life in all its diversity as an instrument of social action.
Anancy will eventually operate a home where LGBTQ youth can be safe to be who they are… and learn to become adults in the world, without being bitter.

Born and raised in Brooklyn and Nassau County (Long Island), Hardy felt stifled by this conservative environment and society’s expectations for many years. He was able to rise above it and worked in kosher foods, built a successful tech company, worked in event planning (including large-scale festivals), and founded a business development consulting firm. Yet throughout his successes, he still felt like there was something still missing. Over the years he took sales training, public speaking, and improv courses and felt like he had a higher calling.

On New Year’s Day 2016, Hardy and a friend were chosen to become a body painting model at a party. With his timeless good looks and outgoing personality, he quickly became a favorite model for both body painters and photographers alike. Along with getting painted, Hardy Brooklyn enjoys donning wacky costumes for themed events. He quickly made a name for himself in the underground arts, music and fashion scene. He is an instant hit at parties because of his positive energy.

Hardy is inherently and fundamentally a performance artist and educator. He hopes to help people experience all that the art world has to offer and expose them to things they normally wouldn’t experience because of their fears or prejudices. new connections, interactive events and photo opportunities bring Hardy great joy and pleasure.
