参考译文：2016年活动季持续到6月26日，由从舞者到家政工人等各种人主持的会议为特色。每次会议都有一个主题，参与者会得到各种材料和提示，并被要求用他们的思想和艺术覆盖墙面。
定位线索：题干“2016 season”→答案句“The 2016 season...Each session has a theme”；文中“cover surfaces with their thoughts and art”对应选项B“expressed their thoughts in graffiti on the theme of each session”。
解析：题干问2016年参与者做了什么，答案句说明每次会议有主题，参与者用思想和艺术覆盖墙面，即围绕主题表达思想，对应B。A项“whatever came to their mind”偷换概念，原文有主题和提示限制；C项“collaborative writing”只是其中一个项目，范围缩小；D项“required to cooperate”无中生有。
