Wild Queer Times - William Yang

Hear William Yang share his own stories and reflect on the highs and lows of the LGBTQIA+ scene.

William Yang is a Queensland-born, Sydney-based photographer whose significant contributions to Australian photography spans over five decades. Known for his reflective and joyous depictions of Australia’s queer scene in the 1970s and 1980s through to the present, Yang’s photography is informed by the cultural and political pressures of growing up as a gay man from a Chinese immigrant family in north Queensland.

Yang’s documentary photography encompasses explorations of cultural and sexual identities and depictions of landscape. His photographic practice is integrated with writing, video, and performance, and is grounded in narrative and storytelling.

The event is part of Bundanon’s Wild Weekend. Across Saturday 7 to Sunday 8 September there will also be a (Not So) Blue Light Disco, bush foraging, queer storytelling, live theatre, and of course Bundanon’s latest exhibition, Wilder Times: Arthur Boyd and the mid-1980s landscape.
