Camille Georgeson-Usher

Camille Georgeson-Usher is a Coast Salish / Sahtu Dene /Scottish scholar, arts administrator, and writer from Galiano Island, British Columbia, unceded territories of the Penelakut and Lamalcha First Nations as well as other Hul’q’umi’num-speaking peoples, and is the ceded traditional territories of Tsawwassen First Nation. Usher is Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Faculty of Arts & Science at OCAD University in Toronto, Ontario. Usher completed her MA in Art History at Concordia University. Her thesis, “more than just flesh: the arts as resistance and sexual empowerment,” focused on how the arts may be used as a tool to engage Indigenous youth in discussions of health and sexuality. She is a PhD candidate in Cultural Studies at Queen’s University; her research-creation work looks at the many ways in which peoples move together through space, intimacies with the everyday, and how public art becomes a portal for gathering. Usher served for several years as Executive Director of the Indigenous Curatorial Collective, and currently serves on the Boards of the Toronto Biennial of Art and the Galiano Literary Festival.
