The Power of The Superhero Project

Adults

Discover how a global League of Extraordinary Artists is harnessing the power of the arts as a tool for healing and empowering youth impacted by serious illnesses, disabilities, and complex needs.

Discover how a global League of Extraordinary Artists is harnessing the power of
the arts as a tool for healing and empowering youth impacted by serious illnesses, disabilities,
and complex mental health, developmental or medical needs. The storytelling collaboration
begins when kids and teens are interviewed about who they are beyond their diagnosis and how
they want to make a positive difference in the world. Each child is matched with an illustrator who
designs the heroic alter ego they describe – visual representations of their strength, courage and
creativity. Hear how illustrators tackle the challenge of taking art direction from a child and
celebrating their differences, and how this new pantheon of young superheroes can change the
world.

This workshop will be facilitated by Superhero Project founder, Lisa Kollins. We encourage you to check the Representational Justice & A New Pantheon of Heroes program on Thurs, June 25 / 6:30 as well. You can also receive a personal tour of the Superhero Project exhibit from Lisa Kollins at the Orange Branch Library during our designated viewing hours. No registration is necessary to attend exhibit viewing hours.
