Hi everyone, I'm Christine with RO Construction and we are extremely excited to partner together to build the next phase of the MACC. www.r-o.com

Hello. Mauricio Callejas, musician and producer of Centroamericanto Fest. Been part of the LARP and LAAP at the MACC since 2016.

Hi. Angela Valenzuela, convener of Nuestro Grupo that organizes the activities of our Saturday school named Academia Cuauhtli, now in it’s 7th year, located at the ESB-MACC.

#1 What does the MACC mean to you? Why does the community need the ESB-MACC?#2 What, if anything, do you find particularly central to your experiences at the ESB-MACC?#3 Based on your vision of the future ESB-MACC, how can this building better serve today's needs of the community? Has anything changed since 2018?

Thanks for sharing, Mauricio!

Thanks, Alex!!

I agree with Alex absolutely on the studio ! and rehearsal spaces

I second that studio space idea!

wonderful insights both Alex & Mauricio

Austin musicians lost places to rehearse due to gentrification and covid

Absolutely. The teens would lov to have access and learn these skills Dr. Valenzuela !

That is terrific news !

Thank you so much for your feedback on education ,Angela

Thanks, Reynaldo!

That front yard near the Rainey Street could have a sculpture garden :)

Great ideas, Coka! Thank you.

Here’s the article I mentioned earlier from my blog, Texasedequity.blogspot.com. Has the Pandemic Transformed the Office Forever?

Thanks, Angela! We can share this article with the design team, for sure!

Parking is also crucial

Centroamericanto- a great festival!

Thanks

I'll mention it. I've abandoned events because I assumed there would be lack of accessibility due to parking.

Yes, we need to re-brand. We need to elevate Afro-Latino, Afro-Indigenous, and Indigenous youth.

Understood on the parking jaime

Safety is at the top of the socio emotional learning list

Green spaces are healing, too.

Schools are designed to divest us of our languages and cultures.

I have to take off. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the conversation. I'll be looking forward to the next steps.

Thank you, Mauricio! Great feedback!
