about

Do you have a never-ending desire to consume all media?

Of course you do!

Come fill your void at #YAR: bitches on the internet, a multi-media group exhibition that critiques and satirizes the devices of pop culture to highlight how the internet has affected gender, consumption, identity, and politics. To emulate the chaotic nature of the internet, the exhibition space will be maximalist and full of pop culture references.

Between the organizers, Andrea Quinto and Thane Kyu, “yar” had become an inside joke as a ridiculous way to say “yes,” but it’s come to represent a visual style as well. Defining yar: a digital aesthetic that would most likely be found on social media, that’s reminiscent of 2010s colorful, nonsensical trends. It's over-the-top and feminine. It's trashy but ultra-curated and glamorous. Yar also relates to an artificial way of being. Living for the “likes” and “views,” prioritizing an appearance, embracing the superficiality of social media.

#YAR: bitches on the internet will be exhibited at ASU's Harry Wood Gallery from January 20-29, 2026. Opening reception: Tuesday, January 20
from 5-7pm.

Artist list: Alejandra Ramirez Campos, Alec Ramirez, Ally Baston, Ana Gonzales, Andrea Quinto, Brianna Rios, Chandler Ellerbusch, Destiny Ann Montoya, Ella Sheehan, Emily Sarten, Emoticon Angel, Jackson Beenenga, Janet Flores Ruiz, Katie Gilroy, Lauren Klien, Marit Fellner, Mallory Frazier, Philip Gabriel Steverson, Reed Nunnemaker, Gabriela Silva, Sofia Ricci, Sonora James, Tatiyanna, Thane Kyu, Trinity Wolynia, Vewn, Yaniv Golden
