YA3 considers the works of fourteen socio-politically-creative artists that explore themes of Arabian decolonization, bodily deviation, child-like liberation, and anthropological investigations. The publication then intertwines seven additional writers curated and edited by the exhibition organizers.
Included in the publication is also access to the media pieces throughout the show. The curators of the show have both also contributed their own written pieces, as well as some special collages.
These written and visual works are the complete psychosis of trying, and failing, to construct an image of supposed youthfulness. It is rebellion not for action, but for existence.
