[2013] Tijuana artists and musicians reactivate the historic tourist district wounded by violence.

Short documentary film commissioned by KCET for the transmedia project and television program Artbound about the role of artists to reactivate the city of Tijuana, Mexico, after a period of a violence crisis.

After violence desolated the city center of Tijuana starting in 2007, artists and musicians began to re-imagine the function of this area, known as "El Centro" -- the historic tourist district that stretches about 10 blocks along Avenida Revolucion -- by opening small independent, largely self-funded art galleries and spaces.
