For five weeks, the selected artists explored the spiritual, historical, and affective threads that sustain diverse ways of being in the world. They visited historical sites, engaged in dialogues with knowledge bearers, historians, and spiritual leaders, as well as writing exercises, encounters with archives, celebrations, kitchens, and rituals where oral memory still organizes meaning.

Jonathan De Oleo led the group to the Boca de Nigua sugar mill to reflect on the remnants of slavery and Afro-descendant resistance. Dancer Soraya Franco facilitated a workshop to reconnect physical experience with spiritual memory. Anthropologist Soraya Aracena gave a lecture on cultural diversity and religious syncretism in the Dominican Republic. Filmmaker Johanne Gómez Terrero presented Sugar Island, connecting sugar economies with Santería and contemporary dispossession. Olivier Bur led a gastronomic workshop on food, territory, and memory through traditional Dominican recipes. Johann Mijail offered a talk on body, gender, and dissident spirituality within the veintiuna división (Dominican Voodoo). Eleazar Ortiz taught a workshop on natural pigments collected on the island. Boinayel Mota guided a visit to the Pomier Caves, with their Taíno petroglyphs and pictographs. Finally, Yolanda Wood closed with a lecture on Édouard Glissant, inviting participants to think of the Caribbean as a network of relationships, mixtures, and shared memories.
