JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live is the first major solo retrospective exhibition of the late Josh Muir (born 1991), following his passing in 2022.
Josh Muir, a Yorta Yorta, Gunditjmara, and Barkindji artist, and was born and raised on Wadawurrung Country in Ballarat, Victoria. The exhibition title is taken from an artwork of the same name – Forever I Live (2015) – and is a reference to the ongoing legacy that continues to live in Josh’s artwork beyond life itself. JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live is co-curated by Josh’s partner Shanaya Sheridan, his mother Justine Berg and the curatorial team at Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT).
The JXSH MVIR: Forever I Live exhibition and tour is supported by Creative Victoria, City of Melbourne, the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, the Australian Government’s Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program and ANZ. Publication supported by The Gordon Darling Foundation.
