    About

    The Mexic-Arte Museum has partnered with the Mexico City-based Colectivo Ultima Hora to create four fiberglass skulls that have been painted by four Austin-based artists: Ruben Esquivel, NIZ, Carmen Rangel, and Ryan Runice. These artists have created imagery relating to Republic Square's history, a central point for the city's diverse communities. This space has hosted pivotal moments in Texas history, city celebrations, and day-to-day commerce. It continues to serve as a gathering place for community events, standing as an active park that connects modern-day Austin with its past. Through Las Calaveras de Republic Square, we acknowledge and highlight the Mexican, Mexican American, and Black communities, as well as the Tonkawa tribe.
