Mia Boe Guwinganj

In her first institutional solo exhibition, Mia Boe’s exhibition Guwinganj explores the role of Indigenous knowledge in
addressing the challenges of the future. ‘Guwinganj’ is a Butchulla word for a benevolent spirit: a guiding force
from the past that helps to navigate the present. In what is also Boe’s first exhibition on Butchulla Country, the exhibition brings together recent paintings, including Boe’s sci-fi influenced The Aboriginal Robot series, and contemplative new works inspired by the artist’s residency on Butchulla Country.

Mia Boe was the 2024 recipient of the Fiona Foley Residency, an invitational biennial artist residency program hosted by Hervey Bay Regional Gallery in conjunction with Dr Fiona Foley.
