We'll be back Monday with a full article about the role of artmaking (which there was so much of!) at Saturday's No Kings New Haven rally on the New Haven Green. For now, here are a few snapshots of what it was like to be there Saturday afternoon. A special shout out to poets Japhet Gonzalez and Diana Robles, the Blue Steel Drumline, East Rock Brass Band, Singing Resistance New Haven and artists Janet Brodie (the paper cranes), Martha Willette Lewis (many of the signs), and Muffy Pendergast (queen of Westville's giant puppets) for bringing so much art into the mix.

The man of the hour (and maybe the year?). Stephanie Anestis Photography Photos. Jesse “Cheese” Hameen closed his eyes, and turned the clock backwards with the single, balletic wave of his hand. The year was 1950, and Hameen was just a little boy at the Winchester School, hammering a beat out on the side of pots and pans. His hands, which moments before had been suspended in midair, came down on the taut, pearlescent surface of a tom drum.

Crystal Emery can't remember exactly when she began to find the laugh lines in her life. Maybe it was during a hospital stay, when a particularly chatty nurse led to a long and unexpected ordeal with Hamden law enforcement. Or a personal interest in film that led her to too many bad depictions of disabled people. Or a belief that she could change someone’s outlook, one giggle at a time.
