Rosemary Georgeson

Rosemary Georgeson is a Coast Salish and Sahtu Dene filmmaker and multi-media artist. Georgeson was born on Galiano Island in British Columbia, Canada.[1] Her work ranges from film, theatre, radio to involvement in the culinary arts. Georgeson is the Aboriginal Community Director of Urban Ink and has been with the production company since its inception in 2001. In 2014 Georgeson was invited to the position of Aboriginal Storyteller in Residence at the Vancouver Public Library.[2] Much of Georgeson's work highlights the unrecorded contributions that Indigenous women have made within the dying fishing industry. Raised in a fishing family on Galiano Island in the Southern gulf islands of British Columbia, Georgeson spent many years working and living on fish boats. An important component of Georgeson's work involves collaborating with other artists and community members.
