In celebration of the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC week and its 2025 theme - The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, Everywhen Art is presenting a solo exhibition by the Mornington Island-based artist Amanda Jane Gabori. Amanda Gabori was born in 1966 in the township of Gununa on Mornington Island. She is the youngest daughter of the famous painter, the late Sally Gabori whose works are currently featuring in a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria.

Amanda says that she started painting with her mother about 15 years ago, as she saw how much pleasure painting brought her mother and how her mother had loved that, through her paintings she could relate the stories and landscape of her sea country and its people around the world. Amanda says she is honoured and proud to continue her mother's legacy.

Since 2010, Amanda has exhibited in leading private galleries around Australia, as well as public galleries including Cairns Art Gallery, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art and in the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair.

Her main painting themes are those her mother and father's country of Bentick Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. In her work she depicts its striking rock formations, tidal waterholes, its sweeping lands where the sky meets the sea, and the scales that cover the body of the small river cod, Dibirdibi which is her language name and her totem given to her by her father.

Everywhen Art's curators Susan McCulloch OAM and Emily McCulloch Childs will present a free talk: Strength, Vision & Legacy; the art of Amanda Jane Gabori on Saturday July 12 at 2.30 pm.
