A multi-faceted exhibition by three Gympie artists, commemorating the anniversary of the flooding event which took place within regional and urban Gympie areas, February 2022.
Utilizing earth mediums connected with the Mary River, visual artists Miriam Innes and Joolie Gibbs chronicle the urban and natural environment of the Mary River in both the immediate and the understated. Filmmaker Leeroy Todd focuses on the human element.
The concepts of 22.96 / receding are thought provoking, educational and visually and physically engaging, with a narrative that is not defined by the worst that the river can do, but by what the river provides. This exhibition aims to acknowledge community resilience and encourage healing through creative recovery initiatives.
