By early 2010 it accomplished 10 international events, including 8 exhibitions that took place in México (2), Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, USA, Cuba (2), and Taiwan. landings 9/the forum was held in Belize in August 2008 and the project ended with landings TEN, a conceptual book/event. Over 7 years, landings involved over 70 visual artists from 15 nations of the Caribbean, Central America, and Yucatán, along with the later inclusion of one Taiwanese artist. Additionally, many writers, designers, journalists, photographers, and translators of various nationalities played an important role in the team’s efforts.
