Delilah Montoya: Activating Chicana Resistance

This major retrospective examines the decades-long art practice of Montoya, encompassing photography, printmaking, installation art, and activism. With roots deeply tied to New Mexico, Montoya has long collaborated with Chicanx and Latinx communities to explore historical and contemporary narratives, fostering a deeper understanding of identity, history, and community.  Montoya's work represents a range of collaborations and features her communities as well as incarcerated individuals, women boxers, the lands and people of the borderlands, and Chicanx history. This larger body of artwork spanning decades demonstrates not only a sustained vision of New Mexican cultural diversity and landscape but also an interaction with broader social and contemporary discourses impacting the United States today.
