A native of California, Asawa spent most of her career in San Francisco, where she established the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts in 1982.
Ziegenfuss is a modern and contemporary art historian and visual studies scholar teaching and working in New Mexico, the city said. She is an independent curator specializing in online exhibitions, digital preservation techniques and virtually accessible archives and collections. Ziegenfuss holds a Ph.D. in visual studies from the University of California-Irvine and a master of arts degree in women’s, gender and sexuality studies from Ohio State University.
