Saturday 24 May
4.30pm - 6pm
Join Western Aranda painter Vincent Namatjira and MCA Curator Rebecca Ray for a discussion about the artist's 2025 MCA Vivid Sydney commission, 'King Dingo' followed by a Q&A and a viewing of the projection at 6pm.
On the opening weekend of Vivid Sydney 2025, join Namatjira in conversation with MCA Curator First Nations Art Rebecca Ray to hear the powerful story behind this year's MCA Commission, 'King Dingo'.
Created in collaboration with The Electric Canvas and featuring an original score by Namatjira and Indulkana-based composer Jeremy Whiskey, 'King Dingo' reclaims symbols of power through humour, music and image – transforming the dingo into a figure of strength, sovereignty and resistance.
Understanding the stories, symbolism and intention behind 'King Dingo' brings powerful resonance to the experience of seeing it come alive across the Museum’s façade. Following the talk, experience the illuminated façade in full at dusk.
