The University Art Museum at NMSU presents Jennifer Ling Datchuk: RIPENING, a multidisciplinary exhibition 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 Chinese American woman and “third culture kid”, each section of RIPENING reflects Datchuk’s practice as a trained ceramicist working across media - from hair to video - as she examines and questions the social, cultural, and political systems that continue to hold women back,
The show runs through early March of 2026 and the opening reception for this show is Friday, September 19, 2025 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.
