Mia Boe’s first institutional solo exhibition Guwinganj will take place at the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery, opening later this month. Developed in response to her time on Butchulla Country as the 2024 recipient of the Fiona Foley Residency, 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. The exhibition will bring together recent paintings, including Boe’s sci-fi influenced ‘The Aboriginal Robot’ series, and contemplative new video, photographic and installation based work.
On view from Saturday 30 November, Hervey Bay Regional Gallery will hold opening celebrations on Friday 6 December.
