Last week the administration removed information signs at Acadia National Park that mentioned climate change, endangered plants & Indigenous heritage. Someone felt compelled to create alternate signage -- thank you!
#friendsofacadia #altacadianationalpark #altnationalparkservice #SchoodicInstitute
A yellow sign reading "How is climate changing Acadia? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place next to trail signage. A blue sign reading "Is Acadia Wabanaki land? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place next to a boulder. A green sign reading "Why protect Acadia's plants? (crossed out) You don't need to know! SIGN REMOVED" place against a boardwalk fence to beach access.

LumenARRT! feels the dystopian vibe as a Tesla dealership threatens to come to Portland, Maine. Protest signs keep appearing on the fence!

(corrected version - it's coming to Portland, not Westbrook)
A new Tesla dealership is planned for PORTLAND, Maine not Westbrook. Our bad. It will be the first in the state. Right now the site is all fence off. LumenARRT! created this virtual image, with a distinctly dystopian vibe. We adding Tesla signage to the currently empty building and there's a rusted blue sign on the chainlink fence blocking access to the site. The sign depicts Elon Musk doing his infamous Nazi salute with that grimace on his face, next to a simple drawing of a cybertruck with swastikas on the wheels. The sign says: COMING SOON TO PORTLAND, MAINE! It's true. Prepare.

Art by LumenARRT! member Nora Tryon shows a pair of hands repairing red and white striped cloth evoking the American flag using a needle and thread. On the strips are written words including: Truth - Justice - Free Speech - US Constitution - Equality - Peace - Democracy - Truth - Human Rights... At the bottom of the image it says "JOIN TOGETHER it's up to US!"

BREAKING! A Tesla dealership is coming to Portland Maine.
Let's all give Elon a warm Maine welcome for its grand opening. Date TBA

#MEpolitics #resist #goodtrouble
A photo of an empty commercial building in Portland, Maine with a few working vehicles in the parking lot has been altered to include two photos of Elon Musk giving his infamous nazi salute with a grimace on his face. Across the building is written "FUTURE HOME OF THE TESLA SWASTICAR!" above the building white text against the blue sky reads "COMING SOON TO PORTLAND MAINE LET'S GIVE ELON A WARM MAINE WELCOME" in the foregrounds are two of those silly dancing figures you often see in front of car dealerships powered by a blower. One is red, sporting a yellow crown and the other is blue with a red hat.

WE WILL DISOBEY
One more from our visit to the Federal Building in Portland #upholddemocracy #Resist #MEpolitics
LumenARRT!, Maine's projection art activist group projects a message on the Federal Building in Portland, Maine at night. The message reads "WE WILL DISOBEY" in a fiery red circle. A street light shines on the upper right and the streets are wet from recent rainfall. The streets are quiet, no people can be seen but headlights of a passing car are entering the scene from the left.
