‘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.
