When offering their objects for display or visiting the museo, residents wrote letters addressed to an unknown neighbor that contained a wish for the future of the barrio. The letters were collected in the bus. Their purpose was to create a device where residents could not factionalize themselves, wishing positive futures for some in the community and negative futures for others. The museum of memories demonstrated the common pain that was the result of widespread violence.

At the end of the exhibition, a pageant was designed by residents and directed by Riano. Residents paraded through the streets from four corners of the territory. Youth on bicycles with mime make-up went to every home to offer a letter from an unknown writer. In the fashion prevalent in the area, the four parades gathered residents along the way, ending together at the bus, where story tellers told stories of the Barrio and mimes enacted them.
