- Description
- Chantal Gibson returns to Open Space to discuss her latest poetry collection, "with/holding" (Caitlin Press, 2021)—a genre-blurring text that examines the representation and reproduction of Blackness across communication media and popular culture. Written in the summer of 2020, the work was inspired by Gibson’s Open Space exhibition “A Grammar of Loss: Studies in Erasure” that closed three weeks after it opened in January 2020 due to Covid 19.
