the "what is your austin?" project

about

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.
