Working in the overlap between literary and visual art, her body of work confronts colonialism head-on, reimagining the voices silenced in the spaces and omissions left by cultural and institutional erasure.\nA self-styled ‘Historical In(ter)ventionist,’ Gibson’s altered texts, mixed media installations and graphic poetry bring a critical-care lens to the historical representation of Black womanhood across cultural media. Her acclaimed poetry collections How She Read (Caitlin 2019) and with/holding (Caitlin 2021) appear on curriculum reading lists across the country. Her visual art has been exhibited widely across Canada—including the ROM, the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Confederation Gallery PEI, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, the Vancouver Museum of Anthropology, and the Senate of Canada.\nA 3M National Teaching Fellow, Gibson teaches in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at SFU and serves as the Faculty Advisor for Equity, Community and Care.\nPlease RSVP: robarts@yorku.ca ( mailto:robarts@yorku.ca )\nThis event is a part of a series of events on 8 October 2026: CLICK HERE for more ( https://www.yorku.ca/research/robarts/events/robarts-welcome-2026/ )\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n
