‘There was abstraction, colour and movement, and a certain innocent joie de vivre.’ – William Yang
Join curator Allister Mills for a floor talk exploring the new collection-in-focus display highlighting William Yang’s photography of Sydney Mardi Gras festivals between 1981 and 2003.
William Yang is an iconic and celebrated Australian photographer, performer, artist and filmmaker. Starting his career in fashion photography, he quickly turned to social documentary photography. The 24 images in this display explore four themes: Protest, Community, Art and Remembrance.
Ask questions and discover more over morning tea in the Friends Lounge, following the viewing in the Treasures Gallery.
