We are delighted to announce the H.C. Coombs Creative Arts Indigenous Fellow is Dennis Golding.
 

Dennis Golding (b. 1989) is a Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay artist and curator from north-west New South Wales, with ties to Biripi country. 

Golding has exhibited widely, including at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Carriageworks, and Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative. His work has featured in major projects such as the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Free/State, and the 2021 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.

Golding is also co-founder of the Re-Right Collective and recipient of the 2020 NSW Visual Arts Emerging Fellowship. Through his practice, he presents powerful expressions of contemporary Aboriginal cultural identity, offering critical reflections on history while re-imagining narratives of place and belonging.
