Bianca Joanna is an award-winning artist photographer and mental health advocate whose work explores themes of identity, vulnerability, and healing through therapeutic and documentary photography.

Her work has been exhibited across South Australia, including as part of SALA Festival and Head On Photo Festival in Sydney. Her 2024 solo exhibition Breaking the Silence: A Postpartum Story (SALA Festival, Adelaide) shared a raw and deeply personal exploration of postpartum depression through self-portraiture.

Her group work has been exhibited at Gallery M, The Mill, and Bearded Dragon Galley.

Bianca is also the creator and curator of Hear Me Say This, a virtual exhibition and SALA 2025 feature which was named a finalist for the Don Dunstan Foundation Award. The project features portraits and written reflections from people living with bipolar disorder, neurodivergence, and other mental health challenges, using virtual photography sessions as an accessible and inclusive format.

Her most recent work, Healing Out Loud, is currently exhibited at Gallery M, a black and white self-portrait series challenging stigma around mental health and neurodivergence, and her most personal body of work to date.

Bianca has led Mindfulness Photography Workshops across South Australia (including with Talk Out Loud in 2024), where she teaches the therapeutic benefits of photography for processing emotion and practising presence. She is also a sought-after artist speaker and mental health panelist, regularly sharing her lived experience to create dialogue around trauma, resilience, and the power of being seen.
