Biography

Jimena Chávez Delion’s oeuvre spans a variety of mediums, including sculpture, video, drawing, and installation, in which she examines the complex interplay between material culture, marginalized experiences, and the influence of socioeconomic factors on daily life.

Through her installations, Chávez Delion seeks to engage with the viewer, promoting a critical awareness of the complex relationships between socioeconomic structures, materiality, and cultural production. By doing so, she underscores the potential of art to not only reflect but also to actively shape and transform the world we inhabit. ...
