Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts

Join artist Jennifer Ling Datchuk for a tour of Eat Bitterness, directly followed by Anna Storti’s lecture.

Jennifer Ling Datchuk’s work is an exploration of her layered identity–as a woman, a Chinese woman, as an “American,” as a third culture kid. Trained in ceramics and often working with porcelain and other materials often associated with traditional women’s work, such as textiles and hair, her practice discusses fragility, beauty, femininity, intersectionality, identity, and her personal history. Through material culture, the history of craft, and by championing the handmade, she challenges the social, political, and cultural systems that continue to hold women back.
