A meaningful show on the way from the Town-based creative collective
Over at Youthful Kinfolk’s site, setting the stage for the official preview of their upcoming gallery show, Revolve, is an image of the Oakland protests that shut down 580 last month. In the description below, the show itself is positioned as a reaction–to a fraught political climate, to dysfunctional systems of one kind or another, to what they see as a less-than-inspiring media landscape. With those themes in the foreground, the Town-based collective has assembled an impressive, dynamic group of creatives showcasing work meant to spark new conversations.
As the mission statement tells us, the lineup of artists–anchored by YK members and collaborators like Valentin Saqueton (AKA Veeejzilla), Amir Aziz, and Carina Moreno–“brings together artists that push for an agenda bigger than themselves and are looked at as the “other” within what it is that they do.” Working across a variety of mediums, from photography to graphic illustration to video work, the crew will take over Oakland Terminal this Friday, the 9th, with a selection that promises to be visually stimulating and thought-provoking. Needless to say, we’re juiced to see what our slightly more youthful contemporaries have been working on. Below, a brief selection of work from artists in the show, but for the whole scoop, spend some time with the full preview here.
