Mt. Zion Baptist Church uncovers pieces of its history in 60-year-old time capsule
A time capsule sealed inside the walls of Mt. Zion Baptist Church for more than 60 years was opened Oct. 21 as the church prepares to demolish an older wing of its building. Placed behind the building’s address placard when construction was completed in the early 1960s, the capsule was nearly forgotten until congregation members who remembered its existence alerted Rev. Marcus Allen. The community gathered to open it ahead of the demolition and the construction of the church’s planned Family Life Center.

Dapper Cadaver is a horror fanatic’s paradise
From the outside, Dapper Cadaver is virtually indistinguishable from the other warehouses that dot the industrial space south of Madison’s Beltline Highway. Inside, however, the self-described purveyor of “top-quality death-related and scientific props” is a horror fanatic’s Shangri-La. There are shelves of severed limbs and flayed torsos, and silicone organs smeared with fake blood. Next to a pile of dinosaur bones on the floor, a small open casket contains a dozen or so vintage dolls, as if the porcelain toddler from the “Annabelle” series decided to have a party and invited all her friends. The display case that acts as a counter for the showroom at the front of the warehouse holds nearly 40 replica human, animal and dinosaur skulls in various shapes and sizes. But it’s what happens beyond the showroom that really makes Dapper Cadaver unique.

New Artwork on Display by Natalie Furtado
As Natalie became the weekly Bingo caller at Madison Senior Center, she spent more time with different elders. Natalie began to reflect and notice the different feelings she leaves each interaction with. She noticed that there is a certain stillness, and maybe sometimes an uneasiness, that exists when two people from polarizing age groups sit down, talk, and spend time together. Through interviews with senior adults, Natalie explores themes of aging, learning, loving, losing, and spending time with our elders. As overlapping topics emerge, this dual component project, consisting of a visual art installation and a video art collage, seeks to understand how spending time with the elderly may influence a person. Utilizing different techniques, overlaid with symbolism, Natalie dissects the stories of her aged peers to learn, when stripped down to the bare bones, what really matters as time goes on.
