Art Gallery of Ballarat and the Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT) present the first and biggest retrospective of works by the late Josh Muir (1991 – 2022) in JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live.

Josh Muir was a Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta and Barkindji artist, born in Ballarat who passed away suddenly at the young age of 30 in 2022. Josh’s artistic career spanned 12 years, during which he became a prolific artist and was expected to continue on a meteoric rise.

JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live highlights the strength of Josh’s artistic practice and the important contribution he made to First Peoples art and culture in South East Australia, as well as to contemporary art nationally and internationally. It is co-curated by his mother, Justine Berg and partner Shanaya Sheridan, which adds to the heart and soul of the exhibition.

JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live is a Koorie Heritage Trust exhibition that was first presented at Koorie Heritage Trust, Narrm (Melbourne) from 9 March – 14 July 2024.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.

These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.

As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
