Rob "ProBlak" Gibbs

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Rob “ProBlak” Gibbs is a Boston artist and organizer whose murals connect Black portraiture, neighborhood histories and youth education. Raised in Roxbury, he co-founded Artists for Humanity and has worked with schools and emerging artists as part of his practice. Breathe Life Together, documented by the Rose Kennedy Greenway in 2022, centers a young Black girl amid imagery of community and intergenerational connection. The program’s account also acknowledges GN Crew members Genaro, SOEM and Wiso/TakeOne. The artist’s portfolio separately documents Breathe Life 3 at 808 Tremont Street. Its displayed 2017 date conflicts with a linked 2019 account, so no single installation year is assigned here. Both references document particular murals rather than a claim that every work remains visible or unchanged.
