Chávez Delion’s work explores the connections between material culture, subjectivity, and vulnerability within the context of neoliberal economies. In her practice, she investigates how people’s stories, their geographical movements, and their choreographic behaviors coexist with economic scarcity and aspirations in marginalized urban contexts or places marked by informal economies. 

In her installations, sculptures, videos, and drawings, she focuses on gestures, residues, and materials that contain or imitate others. Her practice is driven by a desire to preserve and present these findings and transformations in a way that retains the balance between their affective value and the precariousness of the experiences that gave rise to them.
