> Tijuana Organic: Women’s Border Realities presents artists and 
> projects from Tijuana, Mexico. Situated at the Northwest Mexican 
> border, Tijuana is the main passage between the Mexican state of Baja 
> California and the USA.  As a dam for thousands of migrants, criminals 
> and illegal workers who hope to cross the border it is a place of 
> magnified political tension and cultural contradictions.  It is also a 
> city that has redefined itself through cultural activity.  Tijuana 
> Organic reflects the dynamic cultural scene that has emerged from this 
> tumultuous environment and deals with the tension of real and 
> metaphorical barriers, and how they impact on the identity of 
> individuals and groups.
