Artist Talk with Dennis Golding
Dennis Golding is a Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay artist from the northwest of NSW, with Family in Nowra, will talk about POWER - The Future is Here.
Dennis Golding will be a guest of Sholahven Regional Gallery to open his exhibition, POWER - The Future is Here. This exhibition is the result of a collaboration between artist Dennis Golding and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from Alexandria Park Community School. The superhero capes were created during a workshop in 2020, led by Golding who was an artist in residence at the school through Solid Ground.
Students from Kindergarten to Year 12 designed their capes with iconography informed bytheir lived experiences and cultural identity. As superheroes, Golding and his young collaborators are empowered and reminded of the strength oftheir culture in forming their identity and connection to Country.
Shoalhaven Regional Gallery will be running our special cape making workshop, for kids 10-14, with Dennis Golding, please check the events section of the our website or click here to register. Individually and together, the capes critique social, political and cultural representations of contemporary First Nations experience.
Dennis Golding is a Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay artist from the northwest of NSW and was born and raised on Gadigal land (Redfern, Sydney). Golding also has ancestral ties to Biripi country situated along the mid-north coast of NSW through his mother’s lineage, and family in Nowra.
Working in a range of mixed media including painting, video, photography and installation, Golding critiques the social, political, and cultural representations of race and identity. His practice is drawn from his own experiences living in urban environments and through childhood memories, presenting powerful representations of contemporary Aboriginal cultural identity that inform narratives of history and lived experiences.
Golding graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at UNSW Art & Design in 2019 and now works independently as an artist and curator. Since graduating Golding was awarded the Create NSW Visual Arts Fellowship 2020 and has exhibited at many major institutions including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney Living Museums, and Carriageworks. Golding’s work will be exhibited in the 25th Biennale of Sydney later this year.
