Debuting her first solo-show, this exhibition features the work of Citlali Delgado who implements an understanding of regional complexity in the borderlands that has influenced her artwork, making it a continuous orbit between both Juárez and El Paso. With this gesture the artist acknowledges the speculations made of the U.S./Mexico borderlands through different mediums of work. Unexpected Pedestrians honors a lookout for the unexpected bringing the topic of fantasy vs lived experience into the exhibition.

Citlali Delgado is a Chicana visual artist from El Paso, Texas with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from New Mexico State University. Based in the borderlands, her paintings function to understand how she and her communities can live with, against, and past the border. She works to channel representation into community visibility to funnel grief to spark growth in spaces of Latino and female multiplicity. She attended the Yale Norfolk School of Art residency program and has work in the Eastern New Mexico University and the New Mexico State University Museum permanent collections.
