Fiona Foley's K'gari explores her Badtjala connections to this place, her artwork and a short history of the Bogimbah mission, established on K’gari under The Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act, 1897. This site includes a video in which Fiona Foley welcomes viewers to K’gari, a selection of work from her Horror Has A Face series (2017) and introduces her film Out of the Sea Like Cloud (2019). It also includes a timeline which traces the known history of K’gari.
