SOS 2025 Alternate Worlds Show

April 26 – May 17, 2025
Narrative Bookshop  •  387 Highland Avenue, Davis Square (Map #E2)

Books can be portals to different realities. Stories can empower, heal, connect, transport, and persuade. They can portray brighter possibilities, bear warnings about the future, or tie us to our ancestors & root us in our heritage. This exhibit will showcase the transporting power of written & spoken narratives, translated into visual forms of alternate worlds created by Somerville artists.

This juried show will be the first art exhibit at Narrative. Proudly immigrant-woman owned & operated, with an emphasis on amplifying marginalized voices and experiences, Narrative is an independent bookshop offering a welcoming space for finding connection through community-minded events and a curated selection of new and used books across various genres.

The show features works by Kelly Baker, SaraMarie Bottaro, Lily Chylek, Jonathan Donahue, Devon Murphy, Michele O’Brien, Hilary Scott, Emma Tung Art, and Allison Wu.

Narrative is open Wednesday – Saturday, 12 – 7 pm, and Sundays, 12 – 5 pm.
