Captured at the Overture Center

Captured is a series of photographs taken of youth inside the Dane County Juvenile Detention Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The series hopes to expose the general community to what life is like for incarcerated youth in Dane County—including LGBTQ+ youth of color—while at the same time creating a visual narrative that documents and humanizes what racial disparity looks like in present-day Dane County. The photographs were taken by artist Amber Sowards in collaboration with Ali Muldrow of GSAFE’s New Narrative Project, and will be on display from June 13 through September 3. This exhibition is made possible by GSAFE, Justified Art!, and the Overture Center.

Captured will be on view Tuesday, June 13 – Sat, Sep 3, 2017 in the Overture Center’s Gallery II on the second floor. Related programming is free, open, and accessible to the public:
