The Visions of an Abolitionist Future trajectory, curriculum, performance and exhibition were curated during the Young Artists at Work 2013-2014 program year.
The YBCA Young Artists at Work (YAAW) program is a paid, year-long, multi disciplinary arts-as-activism residency for Bay Area high school youth at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, CA. The YAAW program is designed for young people that are interested in expanding their artistic craft while connecting with local communities and the contemporary art world.
From July through August, 30 Bay Area high school youth spend their weekdays immersed in contemporary art and ideas at YBCA, learning from local and global artists who make project-based, social-justice-oriented work. Then, the YAAWs spend the following year (after school, on Tuesdays and Thursdays) designing and producing original community-based arts projects under the guidance of YBCA artist-mentors.
