Fraught Imaginaries is an exhibition and collaborative project with Maggie Hazen’s work and incarcerated youth at the Columbia Secure Center for Girls in New York's Hudson Valley. This project brings together Hazen's sculptural investigations of carceral architecture and commissary systems with artworks by members of the Columbia Collective. The title draws from Dr. Nicole Fleetwood’s concept of “Fraught Imaginaries,” which names the complex power dynamics and uneven conditions shaping art made across carceral divides, while also pointing to the possibilities of collective dreaming.

Edited by Danika Hazen and artwork by Maggie Hazen x Columbia Collective.
