Amartey Golding

Overview

Amartey Golding's solo exhibition marks the conclusion of FACT's multi-year Resolution project, which explores how art can affect public attitudes and influence decision-making in the justice system.

Known for his emotionally impactful work, Golding collaborates with imprisoned men at HMP Altcourse (Liverpool, UK) to create a large-scale chainmail sculpture weighing over 200 kilograms. Together, the group have crafted an intricate garment that represents their shared stories and explores themes of trauma, identity, and societal behaviours. The exhibition features the resulting chainmail garment alongside a new audio work, inviting visitors to reflect on how art can affect public attitudes and create a space for dialogue and representation.
