“i wish the earth swallowed me whole”
On February 26, Youthful Vengeance held its final exhibition with “i wish the earth swallowed me whole”, a powerful showcase of work by Abdul and Dearbish. The evening marked the closing chapter of the space, bringing together artists, performers, and community members who have helped shape its energy over time.
The exhibition carried an emotional weight, inviting visitors to sit with themes of vulnerability, reflection, and expression. Through their work, Abdul and Dearbish transformed the room into a space where art spoke quietly but deeply — a fitting tone for a night that also served as a farewell.
More than anything, the night felt like a gathering of the community that Youthful Vengeance has built over time. Friends, artists, collaborators, and supporters came through to experience the work and mark the final exhibition together.
Throughout the evening, performances by KK Lily, Pansori Into, Sienna Hyun, and Casey Garcia filled the space with sound and movement. Their sets added a live pulse to the exhibition, creating moments that felt both intimate and shared among everyone in the room.
Thank you to the artists and performers who made this closing night so meaningful, and to everyone who has walked through the doors of Youthful Vengeance along the way. Your presence, creativity, and support have shaped what this space has been.
A beautiful way to close the chapter.
