Asian Batman Saves Wellington

Francis Del Rosario

4.4.24 — 27.4.24

A new vigilante enters the city!

The Batman lives in 2024, he’s a warrior for social justice and the defender against bigotry. He’s a hero, he’s an ally, a minority and a single father. “Asian Batman Saves Wellington” invites you into his space, it calls upon you: TO THE BAT-CAVE!

The Batman comes to Wellington in an immersive multi-media reconstruction of the Bat-Cave. “Asian Batman Saves Wellington” is an extension of Francis’ original project: “Bat-Computer”. It features a redesigned version of the work, as well as, new collaborative work with Cailin Rogers and Stewart Osteen, and a commissioned work by Thomas Strawbridge.

Francis Del Rosario is a Filipino artist based in Te-Whanganui-a-Tara. He recently completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons) at Massey School of Art, and “Asian Batman Saves Wellington” is his first solo show. With a practice evolving out of theatre and film, his work mainly centres around video and storytelling, but has recently implemented set design to compliment the narrative, world-building nature of the work.
