Dylan Goh | 19 | Sydney | student, artist, curator, educator |

My creative practice investigates how human experiences, attitudes and behaviours can be manipulated by elements such as hyperreal social media and the urban city. Fascinated with how we formulate and reinforce our self-concepts, I enjoy holding mirrors up to confront people with their authentic selves. My works are snapshots of our footprints; our milieu; and our obsessions.

Crossing diverse media (from installation to photography to ceramics), my process is driven by intuition and improvisation. Whether as a performer, facilitator or maker, I am always present, suggesting a direct translation of personal experiences. There is an omnipresent consideration on how audiences will hold, move within, play and relate to my works.

I am currently studying Commerce / Design at the University of New South Wales where I lead the making society MAKE Club and have worked on a light installation for Vivid Sydney. In addition, I am a Youth Curator for the City of Sydney and a gallery host at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Dylan Goh (also known as ‘Arcai’) is an independent street dancer, producer and curator on Bidjigal and Gadigal Country with a decade of experience in the creative industries.

His work champions underrepresented artforms and communities, particularly queer and diasporic youth, and he brings a deep commitment to inclusive governance, cultural literacy, and transnational artistic exchange.

Dylan is the Australian founder of Palette Session, a not-for-profit experimental dance collective in Sydney and Seoul, and Co-Chair of Cypher Culture. He currently serves as an Artform Board Member for Dance and Physical Theatre at Create NSW, where he has helped allocate $1.4 million in arts funding.

Dylan has produced large-scale cultural events, curated festivals, and taught marketing at UNSW, while also contributing to youth and multicultural initiatives through roles with the Australia Korea Young Professionals Association and the City of Sydney. He is an alumnus of the New Colombo Plan and Asian-Australian Leadership Awards.

As a dancer, Dylan’s artistry is rooted in the gay dance of punking / w*acking which emerged from underground gay clubs of Los Angeles in the 1970s such as Paradise Ballroom and Ginos. It is characterised by storytelling, posing and whacking - or sharp striking motions with arms. He currently leads community jam sessions for local punkers / w*ackers through Sydney City W_acking.
