Part of a three-year project hosted by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Franklin Furnace, on February 26 and 27, 2007 Estevez journeys for two days from the Council to the Queens Museum of Art, stopping at Queens public libraries along the way to continue disseminating knowledge about performance art.

This is one of a series of seven individual pilgrimages that reverse the relationship between art and religion. The piece is modeled after the Catholic El Camino de Compostela in Spain, where devotees travel to the tomb of St James. Religion becomes a tool in the service of art as the artist endures separate journeys that begin in Lower Manhattan and conclude at seven museums. Upon completion of each penance, a passport credential is signed by the director of the institution.

Beginning: Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, 125 Maiden Lane, between Pearl and Water Streets, Lower Manhattan, Departure time: 2:00 pm, Monday, February 26, 2007.

Ending: Queens Museum of Art, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, NY, Estimated arrival time: 7:00 pm, Tuesday, February 27, 2007.
