Ximi (b. 2002, Fuzhou, Fujian) is a multidisciplinary artist and early-stage museum educator based in New England. Her practice spans ceramics, oil painting, and digital fabrication. Her installations explore the questions: How does one transcribe the passage of time that measures our metamorphosis and our present characteristics? When we lose our way, what helps us remember the things that once moved us deeply, now buried in the excitement and noise of everyday life? These questions are observed in marks of humanness in the form of temporary imprints on skin and walls, habits inherited from old friends, objects carried during moves, our reactions to certain scents or textures, and preferred flavors.
Ximi is set to graduate from Tufts University in 2027 with a Masters of Museum Education. She received her BFA and BA in Philosophy at The School of Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in 2025. Her work has been exhibited at Doshisha University, Imadegawa, Kyoto; Bowery Art Collective, Metuchen, NJ; and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.
