  • Dr Bonita Ely (born 1946) is an Australian multidisciplinary artist who lives in Sydney. Ely established her reputation as an environmental artist in the early 1970s through her works concerning the Murray Darling river system. She has a diverse practice across various media and has often addressed feminist, environmental and socio-political issues. Ely was born in Mildura and raised in Robinvale, Latji Latji country, a town on the banks of the Murray River in the Mallee region of north western Victoria, with her elder sister and two brothers. Her family grew oranges and grapevines on a block of land her father, a World War II veteran, received through the Soldier Settlement Scheme. In a 2019 oral history interview for the State Library of Queensland, Ely describes her childhood as a creative one, where she was encouraged by her parents to try anything. She recalls drawing from an early age, even before starting school, using sticks to draw in the dirt and charcoal discarded from the wood stove to draw on the external walls of the pickers' hut. Her work has been internationally exhibited, including in documenta14 in Kassel, Germany and Athens, Greece, at Chisenhale Gallery, London, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Harbourfront, Toronto, the 18th Street Arts Centre, Los Angeles, USA and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea. Ely's experimental artworks are in international collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, and have been selected for significant contemporary art events such as Fieldwork, the opening of the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Melbourne. She has also produced three public sculptures for the City of Huế, Vietnam (1998, 2002, 2006). (en)
