VESSEL LATE NIGHT PARTY WITH PEACEFENDER & LOCAL SUPPORT

Vessel Presents: Late Night Party with Peacefender

SATURDAY 08 August

7pm-late

Join us for the official late-night celebration and fundraising party for ‘Between Suns’ by Khaled Sabsabi, curated by Mikala Tai at Vessel.

Experience the exhibition and celebrate with live sets from local djs (to be announced soon) , headlined by PEACEFENDER, Khaled Sabsabi himself!

Before becoming one of Australia's leading contemporary artists, Khaled Sabsabi was making noise as a teenage hip hop producer and DJ in Western Sydney during the 1980s, performing under the name Peacefender. Mixing unlikely influences into a signature "wall of sound," he used music to bring together the area's Turkish and Lebanese youth — a spirit of connection that still runs through his work today. For one night only Peacefender returns to the decks for a rare live set as part of ‘Between Suns’ at Vessel.

Thanks to support from our Community Partner, Freocast we will be broadcasting the sets live on the evening, 7pm-late.

Thanks to our event partners for the ongoing support: City of Fremantle, Otherside Brewing, Willoughby Park and Lightning Minds, Vessel will be running a paid bar for the evening.

About the exhibition:

Vessel presents Khaled Sabsabi's exhibition ‘Between Suns’ curated by Mikala Tai, showcasing four bodies of work spanning 1998-2025. Offering local audiences to engage with Australia’s representative at the 2026 Venice Biennale

The exhibition invites audiences into Khaled's long-term process and enquires into mysticism, fate, and coincidence, ideas that inspire and hold us together as humans. Sabsabi brings people together in immersive and engaging experiences, to reflect on arts unique and powerful role in supporting the community through times of uncertainty. Through his work, Sabsabi explores human collectiveness and the quest for coexistence, inviting audiences to do the same.
