Abstract: Abstract In recent decades Tijuana has undergone a radical change in terms of its artistic and cultural production. Today the city is considered an important artistic hotspot. Capacities for change have been linked to the city’s own sociopolitical characteristics, its artists and other creative communities. This chapter discusses the relationship between the different ways in which the border is experienced and creative potential. This relationship is analyzed specifically with regard to art spaces in Tijuana (particularly visual arts), and focuses on the last 10 years (from 2008 to 2018). The chapter also examines the role cultural and artistic projects and spaces have played in promoting change in citizens’ practices and in rebuilding the social fabric.
