Art Against the Odds Exhibition Lecture

Join curators Debra Brehmer and Paul Salsieder of the Portrait Society Gallery in Milwaukee for a lecture on Art Against the Odds, an exhibition featuring work by artists who are currently or formerly incarcerated within Wisconsin's justice system. The curators will discuss the origins of the project, the process of working with the artists in the exhibition, and the ways art can serve as a vehicle for creative expression, personal agency, and human connection. The lecture will provide insight into the exhibition's development and explore broader questions surrounding art, justice, rehabilitation, and the transformative potential of creative practice.
