Dennis’ works are gestures towards imagined futures which center queer subjectivity at the intersection of race, gender and Caribbean culture. He aligns himself with the queer of color critique and it's approach to Queer theory and posits culture as the site where identity is understood and constructed through the negotiation of class, gender, history and religion. Through his image based practice, Kashif works to destabilize hegemonic systems through a re-imagination of self expression, desire, sexuality and representation. He references the Carnival as a historic and geographically specific site, while employing its social commentarial structure as a model of reference for his work.
