Abi Hodson is a transdisciplinary artist and facilitator living between Kjipuktuk/Halifax and Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Their practice is grounded in fibres and collage. Through video, movement, sculpture, and zine-making, they construct a language of sensory entanglements in order to research the real and manufactured space between ourselves and the material world (between the tongue and what it tastes, between our bodies and the environments we build).  Through their work, Abi seeks to spark curiosity, delight, and generative discordance.

Abi also facilitates spaces where participants can collaborate and play, partnering with organizations including articule, the Rainbow Refugee Association of Nova Scotia, and HOSI Salzburg. They are the recipient of the 2025 Jorisch Family Residency Award and the 2025 Elspeth McConnell Fine Arts Internship Award and have shown their work at artist-run-centres, galleries, and festivals including articule, Fonderie Darling, and Nocturne festival.
