Some days, life just isn’t a rainbow, and getting out of bed is a bad idea! Where do we find courage to meet our next challenge? A party might be the answer! Squishy dinosaurs, witchy magic and colourful rocky horrors take over the Queensland Multicultural Centre in a free, gay ol’ time with performances, music, dance, food and drinks on Saturday 9 November.
‘Some Days My Skin Just Isn’t So Thick’ is a visual art exhibition (1 October – 18 November), with a central focus on resilience. Main themes include: discomfort, perseverance, and survival in the process of challenging adversity – especially for those with migrant heritages, for whom biology, society, culture and (mis)communication both help and hinder in the battle with their own obstacles.
Mark du Potiers is a Magandjin (Brisbane) born, raised and based sculptor, with Australian, Hong Konger and Chinese migrant heritage. He is interested in how identity, sexuality, and mental health challenges form and change across multi-cultural environments. His artworks are often made with fabrics, bright colour, symbolism and collaboration.
Presented by BEMAC as part of Melt Festival of queer arts and culture.
