Expanding spaces for the Caribbean is not optional, it’s a must. Feeling proud to be rooted in Dominican land, yet elevating the vision beyond imagination.
We are here to stay!!! ⏳

“2 LBS”
In 1921, the world’s sugar price sank to just two dollars a pound, bringing an end to the era of prosperity known as the danza de los millones. The lush cane fields of Hispaniola, which had once fueled great fortunes during the First World War, had now become the land of foreign corporations. Dominican families who had worked hard and dreamed big on that land found themselves burdened with debt. Two pounds — a simple unit of weight, yet also a symbol of ruin.
However, in Dominican life, two pounds means so much more. It’s the weight of rice carried home from the colmado on a Friday evening. It’s the handful of habichuelas soaking overnight, the plantains wrapped in cloth for Sunday’s sancocho, the salami ready for the morning’s mangú. It’s what a grandmother measures—not on a scale, but in the cup of her palm—knowledge passed on through touch and tradition, never written down. The works of Pedro Troncoso and Aria Almanzar live within these two meanings — the weight that’s been lost and the weight that persists. They ask us what survives a century of hardship when it’s carried in the body, in the kitchen, in the song, and in a game of dominoes.
