She was recently featured as a Rad Human on The Kelly Clarkson Show and a short docu-film about The Superhero Project won two national awards from the American Advertising Federation: a Silver ADDY and an exclusive Mosaic ADDY, a special recognition for projects celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion.

Lisa has spoken about The Superhero Project in dozens of venues, including at LBX 2023.

PARTICIPANT SCHEDULE

Heroes Within: Queer Artists Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth

Room 204 | The Superhero Project | Lisa Kollins | Jessie Yang | Lex Meyer

Heroes Within, a new and affirming initiative, is designed to center the voices of LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, celebrate their strengths, and support healing through art and storytelling. Hear how queer artists are collaborating to design the heroic alter egos created by the participating youth during individual interviews – visual representations of their strength, courage and creativity. A beautiful and powerful touring exhibit of the superheroes’ posters, character stories, and Words of Wisdom written for their younger peers will bring awareness, understanding, care, and appreciation. Fun, fierce and fabulous images and a panel (including participating artists and youth) sharing insights will make this a joyful and meaningful session.
