Robin Rivers is a mixed-media artist, photographer, and writer whose work reconstructs layers of cultural memory and myth through archival materials, original photography, and storytelling. Her solo exhibition "Misrememberings: Fragments of Longing & Love" opens in October 2026 at the District of North Vancouver Foyer Gallery.

An award-winning writer who has completed artist residencies in France, Rivers founded Quill Academy of Creative Writing in 2019. Her writing has appeared in literary journals such as the U.K's Skirting Around Journal and Ghost Stories YYC. Rivers exhibits regularly across North America with recent work appearing in galleries from Vancouver to New York. She's also the author of the novel "Woman On The Wall."

Her practice focuses on cultural memory keeping and technologies of circulation—how stories and images travel between people and across generations. Through this interdisciplinary approach, she examines how documented archives and personal interpretation shape our shared understanding of the past, while exploring how what is preserved is shaped by power, privilege, and historical upheaval.
