Miriam Charlie has been selected as a finalist for the 2022 Bowness Prize at the Monash Gallery of Art with her work Elmasri down the river.
'When I was travelling to Borroloola I caught up with my grandson and I took a photo of him. He looked cute, you know, he’s standing near a tree by the MacCarthur River.'
Over the last 16 years, the Bowness Photography Prize has emerged as an important annual survey of contemporary photographic practice in Australia and one of the most prestigious prizes in the country.
