The project
The festival set out to build a self-sustaining project through music, sculpture and visual arts. For one week there were artistic and entrepreneurship activities, and a group of Livingston residents worked on recycling along the town beach. With support from recycling enterprises and the Organization of Black Guatemalans, more than 500 people enjoyed performances by emblematic groups from the country.
Why it matters
Livingston can only be reached by water and is home to Garifuna, Q'eqchi' and Ladino communities. The festival joined art and entrepreneurship: while emblematic groups from the country performed, neighbors and organizations worked on recycling along the beach. The aim was to leave a project the community could sustain.
