There’s a new art installation at the Washtenaw County Courthouse over the next month that’s designed to challenge a space in America—a space that’s known for its demoralizing confines. 

The project is called RE:CLAIM. It’s a partnership with five  groups: Youth Arts Alliance, the Interfaith Council for Peace & Justice, Washtenaw My Brother's Keeper, Amplify Project, Title Track, and the Washtenaw County Trial Court. April Baer went to the opening reception, which was full of joy, disruption, and the voices of those impacted by the justice system. 

GUESTS: 

Tracy Van den Bergh, Washtenaw County Trial Court judge  

Jamall Bufford, project specialist for Washtenaw My Brother’s Keeper
