If These Walls Could Talk Finale Celebration

With Friends Tourist Outside Local For Adults Date Night Other Entertainment Sculpture Other Arts and Culture Museum Exhibit History Art Exhibition Exhibit DIY Arts & Culture Classes

What’s Happening?

 

Come celebrate the conclusion of If These Walls Could Talk and the premiere of the film The House That Slaves Built.

If These Walls Could Talk has been a transformative project for the Neill-Cochran House Museum and for all who have engaged with the exhibit and its performances. Over the course of 2020, we have walked together in exploration of our site and of Austin’s past to better understand and in many cases discover the inequities embedded in our shared history that continue to leave their mark on our lives today. We have been honored to be a part of productive conversations not just about our past but about Austin’s possible future, and we are committed to continuing to be a part of the dialogue moving forward. As we get ready to say goodbye to the show in its physical manifestation, we invite you to come out and celebrate to celebrate the steps we have taken together. 

 

This special performance will explore the legend of the ghost of Robert E. Lee, thought to have been seen in the 19th century haunting the NCHM, will celebrate this incredible and provocative show, and will see the premiere of the long awaited film The House That Slaves Built.

 

Tickets are $30 General, $25 for NCHM Members, $20 for Students (with ID). Tickets can be purchased at https://www.nchmuseum.org/nchm-events/itwct-finale-celebration. The doors will open at 6:00 PM, and the performance will start at 6:30 PM. 

 

To ensure the safety of our guests, performers, and staff, we request that all participate in safe social distancing and wear a mask at all times while on our site.
