MACHI is currently in negotiations with the Julian Cho Society to create the B'eleb'aal ch'iich' re na'leb', a Q'eqchi' Mayan term for "transportation machine of knowledge." This mobile museum and performance space would travel weekly to communities, some of which are remote and have limited access to electricity or modern media, providing them with the opportunity to learn about their ancestral heritage and current land claims issues.

To construct the b'eleb'aal ch'iich' re na'leb', this project proposes to convert a school bus to a moveable museum/performance space. Julian Cho/MACHI will work with noted children's museum designer, Dr. Edith Gonzalez de Scollar of the American Museum of Natural History, on design concepts and Richard Valencia at Platypus Studios in Pasadena, CA to create the displays. The museum will contain 2-3 galleries of interactive, changeable exhibits on ancestral Maya civilization and cultural heritage conservation, modeled after the successful Maya children's museum Casa K'inich in Copan, Honduras. The exhibit spaces will not contain artifacts (although signature pieces may be exhibited for special occasions with the permission of the National Institute of Culture and History). The exterior of the bus will be outfitted with side awnings to provide shaded spaces for an information table, on one side, and a small, raised stage for arts performances on the opposing side. This space would provide a place for arts performances (dance, marimba playing, oral history recitation, poetry reading, and plays) and for the dissemination of information regarding land rights. Traditional values of Maya culture will be reinforced by this project as well as the value of Maya material heritage. Through this mobile machine of knowledge, Maya identity in reference to the past, the present, and the future can be expressed.
