On April 30, we’re sitting down with directors Kate Voet and Victor Maes in Agog House to talk about the work, the grief behind it, and what immersive media can do for dementia care and advocacy.

🏛️ The Founders Pillars
An AR experience that transforms the neoclassical pillars of the Texas State Capitol into a memorial for African Americans, confronting histories of slavery, coerced labor, and power through decolonial futurist storytelling.
“Layers of Place” is a site-based AR exhibition transforming Austin’s public spaces, revealing hidden histories and imagined futures through works created with local artists and community partners.
During the event, you’ll even encounter one of its projects inside Agog House:
Then stick around after the Q&A for a live preview of one of this year’s experiences:
