‘Rock Scars’ project is all about rock stars doing professional photoshoots with young adult cancer survivors empowering them to rock their post-treatment bodies - scars, disabilities and all.
The initiative of Scar Stories’ major sponsor, Kitty Kitty Bang Bang, we team up with professional photographers, musicians, make-up artists, stylists, and more to give our young models the rock-star treatment, which helps them see their scars in a new light - one that is empowering and beautiful.
The Rock Scars portraits will be professionally designed into a collection of rock posters to be toured and exhibited at project's end.
“We hope that by providing the rock star treatment we can help these young adults feel empowered, beautiful, and rock their scars.”
