Superhero Clubhouse

Superhero Clubhouse creates eco-theater to champion climate and environmental justice, fostering hope for a thriving future. Their work encompasses original performances and creative resources for diverse communities and collaborators, including students, scientists, artists, and policy-makers.

Through collaborative artistic processes, Superhero Clubhouse models regenerative societies, rooted in ecological knowledge and imagination. Based in Lenapehoking (New York City), they acknowledge the indigenous Lenape people and neighbouring tribes, striving for reconciliation and right relationship with native land.

Their core values centre on justice, hope, collaboration, and knowledge, recognizing environmental crises as issues of equity. They believe tangible hope is essential for progress towards a just society, embracing differences in identity, discipline, and thought as vital to creativity and progress. With a foundation in both Western and Indigenous science, they view all knowledge-holders as essential collaborators in their mission for regenerative justice.
