HEROES: MY HEROES ACTUALLY HAVE REAL SUPER POWERS

When Liberian-born, American-raised multidimensional contemporary artist Bart Cooper showed a young man a picture of Harriet Tubman, she was unrecognizable to him by name. “I think that’s the Underground Railroad lady,” he replied, confirming that he knew very little of Harriet’s contributions to American society. Bart then showed the young man an image of the Superman emblem and his eyes lit up, “Of course I know who that is,” the young man exclaimed, “that’s Superman! The greatest superhero to ever live!”

This interaction with the young man became an enlightening observation for Bart as he reflected on the disparity between our recognition of popular culture’s fictitious heroes versus those who actually exist. Here it was, a young man who could recognize a comic book superhero character simply by his emblem, yet know next to nothing about one of our nation’s greatest heroes who shaped our time. The heroes Bart grew up believing in deserved just as much, or better yet more, recognition as their popular counterparts. They share similar stories and in turn similar powers in the face of opposition, but only one is real and deserves to always be remembered.

In “Heroes: My heroes actually have real superpowers,” Bart Cooper invites you to experience the first volume of what being a superhero looks like through the lens of popular culture, and what better way to do that than by paying homage to the most popular comic book characters and American history’s leading ladies of justice and change. With each work measuring 48” x 48” inches in length, Heroes brings us face-to-face with ten powerful women who stand united in their quest for a more free and equal world. Bart invites you to reflect on the shared characteristics and superpowers of these heroes, as he strategically intertwines the real with the fictitious characters of modern-day heroism through the contemporary use of mixed media. His selection for the first volume are in no doubt powerful women who incited change through bold acts of courage, grit, and grace and very easily match-up to Marvel and DC’s version of heroes with similar backstories of supernatural powers. “Their struggles, their trials and tribulations, their willingness to fight through showed strength and resilience. These people had powers and practiced them rigorously, and not only for themselves, but for others.” Each piece guides us deeper into the minds of these heroes, allowing us to experience their actual words and writings that serve as proof of their raw power and existence. He took these superhero’s powers and used them to move through his trauma, his struggles, his life, in hopes that others can do the same. Heroes was birthed with the intent to spark dialogue and trigger an internal examination of the superpowers we all have within.

Barthelomew (Bart) Cooper is a Los Angeles based multidimensional contemporary artist born and raised in West Africa, Liberia.

I LOVE finding out about missions such as this.

I was watching channel 21, with a segment on a young punk rock girl band promoting girl power. One of the girls sported a "Bikini Kill" tee-shirt which was a feminist punk rock band in the 90's. One of the members, Kathleen Hanna spoke about the Tee4to go website, where the tee-shirt was purchased.

Information found on the website "I started this biz on Oct 16th, 2018. 100% of our profits go to Peace Sisters, a non-profit started by Tina Kampor. Peace Sisters' mission is to provide equal education for girls in Tina's hometown, Dapaong, Togo. I set up this tee shirt business as part of the outreach and fundraising I do as Peace Sisters' ambassador." So you can but a tee- and support a worthy cause!
