In response to the housing crisis that faces the Fraser Coast and many communities around Australia, Hervey Bay Regional Gallery is proud to present Hervey Bay School of Displacement with nationally renowned artist Keg de Souza. An iterative, socially engaged and site-specific exhibition project, de Souza’s School of Displacement series has been staged previously in Redfern, North Melbourne, and Newcastle. Turning its focus to the Fraser Coast, Hervey Bay School of Displacement invites our community to engage in active and deep listening through a suite of public programs designed to share stories, connect and build resilience together. Hervey Bay School of Displacement is presented in partnership with the Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre and Fraser Coast Regional Council’s Community Development and Engagement Team.

To Feb 11, 2024 Michael Cook: Livin’ the Dream. Raised in Hervey Bay and currently residing on the Sunshine Coast, Michael Cook interrogates the legacy of colonisation by remixing, inverting and reconstructing icons of Australian identity. Theatrically staged and highly polished, Cook’s photographic artworks tease out the fictitious possibilities of familiar narratives, combining the personal with the political and the historical with the imaginary. Drawing on a recent gift to the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery Art Collection, works from Cook’s series Livin’ the Dream, 2020, will be displayed alongside a new body or work, Fake, 2022. Considered together, these works offer a timely reflection on the alienating absurdity of consumer desire and the “Australian dream.” As Cook explains, “When I consider our obsession with material wealth, I realise that maybe what we really want are the things that Aboriginal culture has always valued – community, family and giving back.”
