Heroes Within: Queer Artists Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth

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.
