Co-director Gosselin is the director of collections and exhibitions and curator of contemporary culture at the Museum of Vancouver. A Seat At The Table: Chinese Immigration and British Columbia is a multi-sited, travelling exhibit co-created by Gosselin, Denise Fong, and Henry Yu. It explores stories of Chinese Canadians in British Columbia and their struggles for belonging.
