Nolan Oswald Dennis (RA / ZM)

Nolan Oswald Dennis (b. 1988, Lusaka) is an interdisciplinary artist from Johannesburg, South Africa. His practice explores what he calls ‘a black consciousness of space’. The material and metaphysical conditions of decolonization.

He is in interested in so-called-marginal spatial systems and the nexus between material reality and social fiction. He is currently thinking about geopolitics as an aspect of geological rather than geographic relations: the social-production of the earth as the first cosmic body, and water as the second.  

He holds a BAS in Architecture from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. He is currently a Masters of Science candidate in the Art, Culture and Technology program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
