was a center for contemporary art in Southeast Portland, Oregon. It was led by a desire to support artists, propose new modes of production, and stimulate the ongoing public discourse around art. This website serves as an archive of Yale Union’s programming from 2011 through 2021.

Yale Union acknowledges that it occupies the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Chinook, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and other Indigenous peoples.

UNTITLED

An untitled publication to accompany Sometimes, when birds make sounds, it feels like the sounds are coming out of me, an exhibition curated by home school (manuel arturo abreu & Victoria Anne Reis) at Yale Union and featuring work by Aria Dean, Jiří Kovanda, K.R.M. Mooney, and Bri Williams. The work in this publication does not frame the work in the exhibition. The publication is dedicated to Yoko Ott (1970–2018).
