Get behind the scenes thoughts about Caminos' projects/events throughout the year.

The lead muralist, Alonso Estrada (Artist name: The Death Head), was hired by the City of Austin to coordinate with the community on the design and implementation of a mural located at Onion Creek Metropolitan Park, he’s done a spectacular job interviewing affected families, delving into the history, and creating the piece worthy of the cause. Even in the realization of the mural, community members are welcomed into the working zone. Everyone is encouraged to come out to the site and volunteer and help in the creation of the mural, including us – Caminos!
Temporary park improvements have been installed as of June 2024. The temporary activation features bench furniture donated by CANVUS. The benches will be decorated with murals by ESB-MACC Caminos students in the fall of 2024.
The "What is Your Austin?" Project was imagined and executed by the Caminantes of the Caminos Class of '23. Over multiple months in the second half of their internship, they scouted locations, photographed them, wrote articles about them, and built a sculpture with a key. The sculpture is a multi media collage on a 36" x 60" sheet of plywood. Read on for images of the sculpture, a key listing the locations featured on the map, and the articles the Caminantes wrote to go along with a select few.
