Exhibiting Artists:

Ari Adams: Ari Adams' thesis Kalean! - Basque Youth in the Late 2010's documents the ways in which modern leftist and independentist Basque youth display their cultural identities by participation in local politics through a multi-faceted and politically oriented financial system supported by bar-hopping and protest attendance. Ari's photographs do not show a new form of civic unrest in the Basque Country but rather intend to highlight how public displays of politics are a part of how young leftist Basques engage with both their culture and their history through acts of mixing politics and pleasure.
