At the height of the 2008 housing crisis, 46 high-rise construction projects were abandoned from Tijuana to Ensenada. The Coastal Corridor of Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada (COCOTREN) is a chain of proposed developments along a 90-mile stretch of Baja's coast. Architectural artist Alvaro Alvarez immortalized those “skeletons” through art, creating sculptural paintings to honor each abandoned building.

These will be presented during a Day of the Dead ceremony on Saturday November 2nd, 2024 in San Ysidro, California. This lecture is an opportunity to present the project and preview samples of the artworks prior to the one-day event in November.
