What I’ve enjoyed about this particular showcase is that I have the opportunity to frame myself within the historical context of 5-generations, a Black family, and the arts. Considering the forever imprint that Texas has made on my heart, the Dedrick-Hamilton House feels like a cradle for my Black family stories — like a healthy American tethering.

“GETCHU II” (2025- ‘26) & “WAVES & FADES (2025- ‘26) | On view through August
———-

“The Dedrick-Hamilton House was owned by Thomas Dedrick, one of the first freed slaves in Travis County. The home, built about 1880, was in one of the earliest African American communities in East Austin. The fully restored historic house now serves as an African American Visitors Center which houses the Greater Austin Black Chamber of Commerce and the Office of Arts & Cultural Resources.”
