YAB members and friends explore the art of interconnectedness through shared experiences from communities that they are part of. Each project adds to a collective narrative the community YAB fosters.

¡Hermandad está Floreciendo! (La Primavera Nunca Volverá a Ser Igual)  is a show presented by the Young Queens on the Rise program at  Mission Girls. Featuring the work of 13 Bay-Area youth artists, ¡Hermandad está Floreciendo! centers on themes of sisterhood, community, and identity. The Young Queens’ work explores how art  exists within society as well as how it can create lasting and meaningful change as an activist strategy. Through experimentation with various mediums and materials, the artists invite the viewer to experience the  strength and resilience of sisterhood and how individual identity and empowerment contribute to the community's flourishment and survival.
