Fabiola R. Delgado
Independent Curator and Creative Producer.
The Art Pusher
With a background in International Human Rights Law, Fabiola made Washington DC her home, where she reshaped her career to pursue justice through art and cultural experiences. Grounded in storytelling as the core of her practice, she develops thought-provoking projects that recenter perspectives and foster intergenerational creative learning.
Fabiola curates exhibitions, designs public programs, and writes about art and artists. She has worked with institutions such as the Hirshhorn Museum, the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Asian Art, Anacostia Community Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Times Square Arts, Washington Project for the Arts, the Museum of Food and Drink, the Smart Museum of Art, The Fundred Project with MacArthur “Genius” Mel Chin, and more.Among other distinctions, she is a first cohort Fellow of the National Leaders of Color Fellowship—a collaborative program from the six U.S. Regional Arts Organizations. She serves on the Curatorial Selection Committee for the GLB Memorial Fund for the Arts––an annual award supporting women artists and curators in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Additionally, she is a Communications and Engagement Advisor for S.O.U.R.C.E Studio,––an artist-centered studio that uses bold and poetic approaches to connect people and address human challenges. She is also a co-founder of KAMA-DC––a community building platform for immigrant-led cultural experiences.Fabiola lends her expertise as juror, nominator, board member, lecturer, and panelist for various institutions, including the James Beard Foundation, The Heinz Awards, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, Art+Feminism, the DC Arts Center, Interledger Foundation, Wherewithal Grants, and more.
