Their proposals include themes involving deserts, landscapes, astronomy, traditions, heritage, agriculture, and local biodiversity.
Each sculpture offers visitors a different interpretation of Chihuahua through contemporary artistic expression.
Chihuahua Deja Huella Celebrates Local Creativity
The initiative received 92 artist registrations before organizers selected fifteen proposals for the monumental sculptures.
Selected artists received financial support alongside materials, technical assistance, promotion, and opportunities for public exhibition.
The program also provides artists with smaller collectible sculptures connected to their monumental installations.
A New Cultural Attraction Takes Shape
