The Artist Archive from Baja California
The Artist Archive from Baja California is an initiative that arises from the concern to respond to a growing demand that has not been met: the compilation of a record of contemporary artists of the region and its main projects to keep abreast with its production.
The archive that we are creating will include visual artists, musicians and bands residing in Baja California or who have left the area but still focus their work on the dynamics and policies of this region.
