It’s no secret that with Austin’s explosive growth came waves of gentrification on the Eastside that destroyed Black and brown communities there, which had been built because of Austin’s discriminatory city plan that segregated the city in 1928. It’s important that we don’t forget who shaped this city as it changes, so ECHOES ATX has brought together 10 artists to reflect on what we’ve lost and what we risk losing as Austin grows. Their work includes painting, photography, oral histories, community-made collages, Super 8 film, and multimedia installation, making up an exhibition that covers a wide range of stories from the families and neighborhoods behind the Austin we know today. Be sure to RSVP for the free exhibit opening on Friday, which includes raffle giveaways and a special all-vinyl set from locals Magna Carda. – Kat McNevins
