Austin, please join us in celebration!

ECHOES ATX is delighted to invite you to the historic George Washington Carver Museum for the opening of In Living Memory, an exhibition honoring the people, places, and traditions that have shaped Black and Hispanic Austin.

In Living Memory is free and open to everyone at the George Washington Carver Museum.

Your support helps us compensate artists, bring exhibitions to life, and continue creating spaces dedicated to Black and Brown art, histories, and community.

Every contribution, large or small, helps keep ECHOES going.

Black and Hispanic Austinites have long made place here. Through neighborhood businesses, music and art, gathering spaces, organizing, family traditions, and everyday life, generations have built spaces of their own and profoundly shaped Austin's cultural life. But cities do not remember evenly. As Austin changes, so do the people and institutions with the power to decide what stays, what is preserved, and what disappears.

Through the work of ten artists, discover portraits of East Austin neighbors and local legends, a towering Tejana family ofrenda, Super 8 film, photographs of protest and celebration, and intimate stories preserved through oral histories and community archives.

How do we make a place for ourselves on our own terms? What do we carry with us from the places and memories that shaped us? What do we inherit, and what do we leave for those who come after us?

Come explore the galleries, meet our artists, and celebrate with us in the Carver's beautiful, light-filled Drum! We are also working with community partners on possible light refreshments and a few participatory activities. We will share details as they are confirmed.

We can't wait to welcome you!

*Please not that this event is hosted by our Community Partner Echoes ATX.
