A Koorie Heritage Trust touring exhibition
JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live reflects on the artistic legacy of late Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, and Barkindji artist Josh Muir (1991-2022), highlighting the strength of Josh’s artistic practice and the important contribution he has made to First People’s art and culture in South East Australia, and contemporary art nationally and internationally over his short yet prolific career.
Proudly curated by Koorie Heritage Trust, with Josh’s mother Justine Berg and partner Shanaya Sheridan as co-curators, the exhibition brings together a selection of bold, vibrant works across painting, digital prints, and augmented reality that showcase Josh’s unique vernacular of contemporary iconography whilst embodying his staunch love of family and community, reflecting on a range of themes including cultural identity, the impacts and legacies of colonisation, mental health, addiction, personal loss, and grief.
