- "In July 2017 the South African Equality Court dismissed charges of Hate Speech against Goldendean's exhibition of a poster...in the Iziko National Gallery.The Chief Magistrate found that the work's context, as art, brought attention to structural racism and white supremacy, and drew South Africans to a "critical moment of self-reflection". Goldendean presents PLAN B, A GATHERING OF STRANGERS (OR) THIS IS NOT WORKING reflecting on the affects of their performance of the very simple acts of dissidence in a transgressive Fat Queer White Trans Body. The book explores how strategies of Technology as Self-Reflection and Radical Sharing, Queer Love and Queer Disobedience contribute to "making whiteness strange" by destabilising the normal invisibility of whiteness to bring white bodies under surveillance."--Back cover.
