Genevieve Robertson
Genevieve Robertson is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in environmental studies. She holds an MFA from Emily Carr University (2016) and a BFA from NSCAD University (2009), and presently serves as the Executive Director at Oxygen Art Centre in Nelson, British Columbia. Through recent research on the Salish Sea and the Fraser and Columbia rivers, she has engaged with the complexities that emerge when relating to land and water in a time of large-scale industrial exploitation. She has exhibited her work nationally and participated in residencies internationally. Her work is informed by a personal and intergenerational history of resource labour in remote forestry camps on British Columbia’s west coast.
