Self as Super Hero - Visual Arts and Social Justice Workshop

Join AHC for a 10-hour visual Arts and Social Justice Workshop on the creation of the Self as Super Hero. The ArtEsteem Self as Super Hero curriculum was inspired by our current need for heroes for our children, youth and communities. The ArtEsteem Super Hero is a re-created version of self that embodies superpowers that help create a more loving and peaceful world. The workshop provides a platform for self-development, cultural sensibilities, inner awareness, and an innovative approach to arts integration while exploring voice and vision for solving our most critical problems in the community and in the world.
