Mark Du Potiers

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 this free, gay ol’ time with performances, music, dance, food and drinks on Saturday November 9.


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.


Mark du Potiers’ ‘Some Days My Skin Just Isn’t So Thick’ is a free art exhibition presented by BEMAC in the open spaces of the Queensland Multicultural Centre in Kangaroo Point, viewable weekdays from 10am to 4pm across the Melt Open festival.
Established in 1987, BEMAC is renowned for showcasing innovative work of culturally diverse artists whose distinctive and distinguished style examines discourses and perceptions on multiculturalism, migration and identity, leveraging the arts as a platform in which to pose difficult questions, challenge entrenched ideas and enable change.
