Shoshanna Blanca is at the forefront of a new wave of revisionist religious thinkers, striving to put a sex-positive spin on what she believes to be outdated gospel. Through her work, these spiritual tales resonate with a whole new generation of audiences.
Over the past several decades, sexuality and religion have been consistently pitted against each other. For many audiences, especially younger ones, this has given rise to a problem that makes them feel that sexuality is something to be ashamed of in the eyes of the church. However, these perceived barriers are being eroded by the much more gender-positive, inclusive views of innovators such as Shoshanna Blancaalso known as Jesus Christ Pornstar – a name she pronounces as the next iteration of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Who is Jesus Christ Porn Star?
Shoshanna Blanca is a feminist writer, sexuality educator, performance artist and model who uses body liberation, spirituality and visual storytelling to challenge shame-based narratives around sexuality. Through her work, she encourages audiences to reject limiting ideas of beauty, modesty, and self-expression while reclaiming confidence, authenticity, and ownership of their bodies.
After more than a decade advocating for women’s empowerment and sexual well-being, she created The other Cumminga series of vlogs and performances that tell the story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene through a psychedelic lens. This bold performance art project encourages audiences of all backgrounds and beliefs to embrace their bodies, reject patriarchal conditioning and celebrate individuality without fear or apology. Through music, spoken word and visual storytelling, Blanca promotes messages of self-love, spirituality and authenticity.
Besides this she also created Uncovers Evaa collection of images, videos and verses exploring women and womanhood in the Bible.
Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk
In addition to her creative work, Blanca has also worked as a lingerie, swimsuit and fashion model. She has been featured in publications including Bold and Beyond, Quadro, Boudoir Dreams, Marika and Dominante. Yet even through this work, she has consistently used her exposure and platform to advocate for body positivity and eating disorder recovery.
As someone who looks “overweight” and “plus-size” on size and BMI charts – but not in person – she strives for her contribution in this field to challenge unrealistic beauty standards and harmful body measurements, inspiring others to regain confidence, freedom and ownership of their identity. She also donates 10% of her OnlyFans earnings to support people experiencing homelessness St. Joseph Centerreflecting her commitment to compassion and community care beyond her creative work.
Redefining norms
Blanca invented and popularized the term “radical Christianity,” a belief system that preaches zero divine laws except for the basic idea: “be who you are.”
Through these means, Blanca sees himself and his creations as striving to “clean up the internet”. She hopes her work will help promote a world where people are less judgmental of themselves and others for their spirituality and sexuality.
As she concludes, “So many of us live in a state of self-condemnation or fear of the judgment of others. I wanted to release all the guilt and shame in my body by standing naked before the world and God and conveying the message that none of us have anything to hide.”
