The project, organized by DeseArte Paz, comprised a Socio-Artistic Laboratory where James, along with four University of Antioquia Art Students, traveled thorough Southwest Antioquia visiting mining-affected communities. James gave workshops at each community on both photography and mining. Afterwards, the delegations and locals walked the community taking images that were on display at the exhibit as well. Each of the art students presented an art installation that represented their interpretation of the issues and the local context.
