Please join us on Friday, September 19 from 5:30-7:30 PM for the opening receptions of three new exhibitions at the University Art Museum: Jennifer Ling Datchuk: RIPENING, Greetings from Tijuana, and Necessary Futures.
Jennifer Ling Datchuk: RIPENING is a multidisciplinary exhibition at the UAM that explores the cost of women’s labor in material culture through five thematic sections: Protest, Rest, Labor, Exploitation, and Ripening. Rooted in Datchuk’s personal history and layered identity—as a woman, a Chinese woman, an “American,” and a third culture kid—the exhibition reflects her practice as a trained ceramicist who works with porcelain, textiles, and hair fibers to examine fragility, beauty, femininity, and intersectionality while challenging the social, cultural, and political systems that continue to hold women back.
Greetings from Tijuana is a solo exhibition by Georgina Treviño that marks a return to her hometown of Tijuana, Mexico, where the artist was born and raised until the age of thirteen. Framed through the lens of the postcard, this exhibition transports viewers to the iconic border city, and pays tribute to the generation that came of age there during the 1990’s and 2000’s, as well as to its iconic landmarks and legendary hangouts of the city.
Necessary Futures features three New Mexico-based artists–– sheri crider, Haley Greenfeather English, and Szu-Han Ho––whose work shares the strategic use of color, irony, joy, and hope as proposals for confronting and subverting the ongoing impacts of mass incarceration, racial capitalism, and colonialism.
