TBA:19 Late Night

Feeling of Home will reconstruct what home and healing can feel like for local, intergenerational Black and Brown artists and communities. In this space we will focus on home and what it feels like for the individual but also what home feels like when we come together as a community.

There will be several chances to hang out and heal with us including workshops and a late-night event. This late-night event will feature art installations from those born & raised in Portland. With video projections, DJ’s, live performances, and lounges, it’ll be equal parts grandmother's kitchen on Sunday morning AND your uncle's basements on Friday night. We're letting loose but with people who love you deeply.

YGB Portland formed in 2015 to provide healing space for Black and Brown people in Portland. It has since grown from the parties at Killingsworth dynasty to create more community-based activations.

YGB alongside DUG (Deep Under Ground), Gentrification is Weird, and Friends of Noise made sure displaced artists got paid through the “Art Saved My Life” residency. YGB also collaborated with Deep Under Ground to run Young Gifted Artists, which brings art education to youth during the summertime free lunch program at McCoy Park. YGB curates the entertainment for My People’s Market, which has been happening in different parts of Portland since 2017.
