JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live is the biggest retrospective of works by the late Josh Muir (1991–2022).
Josh 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.
The works in the exhibition reflect Josh’s ongoing artistic legacy, emphasising Josh’s love of family and community, drawing on a range of themes including cultural identity, the impacts and legacies of colonisation, mental health, addiction, personal loss and grief.
