Imanpa Superheroes

Children and young people in Imanpa have transformed their stories of strength and culture into powerful superhero characters.

The Anangu Superhero Project gave young people a chance to shape the narrative around Indigenous youth, reflect on their heroes, and see themselves as powerful. It celebrated their ‘powers’ of wisdom, strength, safety, courage, love and culture, amplifying their voices and sense of belonging.

Here are the amazing superheroes and their superpowers:
