We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this Land, the Dharug people, and their continued connection to Country.
We pay our respects to Elders from yesterday to tomorrow.
We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Blacktown City where the flannel flowers still grow proud and strong.
We will walk softly on this land and open our hearts to Country as the Dharug people have for tens of thousands of years.

POWER – Dennis Golding – Exhibition Image Gallery

Have a look through some of these vibrant images from Dennis Golding’s POWER exhibition opening.

With an inclination towards superhero symbolism, Golding’s work empowers contemporary Aboriginal cultural identity and frees it from colonial narratives. As the artist in residence for Solid Ground, Golding worked with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at Alexandria Park Community School to create 100 superhero capes depicting visual representations of connections to Country, memory, heritage and lived experience.
