'Bantay-Salakay' – Tabi-Tabi Po
'Bantay-Salakay' – Tabi-Tabi Po
Join us for an afternoon of live art with performances.
Featuring artists by Clai Pasion, Alycia Bennett, Miles Dunne, Seb Vivian and Mark Valenzuela, alongside speciality coffee and Pandesal (Filipino sweet breads) baked in a community-built brick oven.
–
In Bantay-Salakay, 2025 Porter Street Commission recipient Valenzuela explores the offensive and defensive strategies embedded in our environments, and the role of power in determining whether these strategies represent resistance or oppression.
With a career spanning two decades, Mark Valenzuela is an Adelaide-based artist who works between Australia and the Philippines. Although his practice wilfully resists categorisation, ceramics is an enduring medium for Valenzuela and has functioned as a linchpin to his many-parted installations that combine elements of painting, drawing, sculpture, video, assemblage and street art.
