Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda

Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda will reflect on more than two decades of living between Vancouver and Guadalajara, and on collaborative work with artists, scholars, and students in the Critical Media Art Studio she directs at SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology, to examine the ideas and experiences that shaped the video Diasporic Worldings, currently screened at the Urban Screen at Emily Carr University.

Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda is an interdisciplinary artist and a cultural historian. Her work explores the female body as a site and an archive of cultural, gendered, and techno-scientific expressions through academic publications and multimedia installations. She leads the critical media art studio at the School of Interactive Art and Technology at Simon Fraser University, where she is an Associate Professor.  

Located outdoors in the campus’ southeastern plaza, the Urban Screen is a public art initiative of the City of Vancouver’s Public Art Program in partnership with Libby Leshgold Gallery at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.  

Offering 4–6 new commissions a year, the Urban Screen spotlights local and international artists and filmmakers working across diverse media disciplines of art, design, media, and technology. The screen operates daily from 8 AM–9 PM.
