Dennis Golding is a Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay artist and curator based in Sydney. With references to science fiction and pop culture archetypes of the superhero laden throughout much of his work, Golding’s practice explores political, social and cultural representations of Aboriginal history through a critical lens. In pursuing colonial portrayals of Aboriginal history and identities, Golding seeks to create new impressions of contemporary Aboriginal cultural identity that is both empowering and liberated from colonial narratives.
