A preview of the “#RESIST” exhibition of “art that speaks to the current political climate” at the Nave Gallery Annex, 53 Chester St, Somerville. Curated by Nave Director Susan Berstler and local guy Greg Cook, the show runs from April 27 to May 27, 2017, with a reception at that gallery at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 27.

Above, Nave Gallery Director Susan Berstler moves a pedestal in a room featuring (from left) Lee Kilpatrick’s photo of a woman with “not my president” written on face; Rebecca Schnopp’s underwear with sharp pins; Russell DuPont’s photo of a “Dump trump” protest sign leaning against park trash barrel; Chris D’Amore’s photo of a protest; and Richard Ferrari’s sign with movable parts so it says “Restrooms” or “Arrestrooms.” (Greg Cook)
