Topics to consider are:
Making
How does the act of Making have an impact in the construction of the city, in its physical
and symbolic form?
Hybrid
Hybridity is a post-modern term that has intended to conceptualize the cross-cultural
phoneme of the US/MX border region. How has this term been instrumental in the
understanding of the Tijuana and San Diego binomial and does it still have relevance to
be projective?
Post-Capitalism
How is the border region or the city of Tijuana fertile ground for post-capitalism ideas
that might include a new type of sovereignty in the future?
Contested Landscapes
The San Diego/Tijuana urban area shares a rich geography and watershed that is
crucial to the future of both cities. A projective speculative idea is crucial for the future
of the urban and natural ecosystem.
