Past Deposits from a Future Yet to Come
Past Deposits from a Future Yet to Come, a new video art installation by internationally recognized artists Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler opens on March 2, 2024 at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park.
Past Deposits features historic artifacts discovered along Waller Creek from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries. The video art installation explores the ways in which these objects connect us to Austin’s past, present, and future, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of people who once lived and worked along the creek.
