Congratulations to Jimena Chávez Delion for winning the Prix Sabam award in the group exhibition at Le Botanique.
In a market on the outskirts of Lima, a group of women sit at a kiosk and paint on shoe soles for hours on end. For more than 9 months, visual artist Jimena Chávez Delion conducted intensive research on the informal economy behind these knock off shoes. She got to know these women and, more specifically, their dreams. Currently displaying her work as a part of the Art Contest 23 exhibition at Le Botanique, she tells us about her process and approach towards research and creation.
