Ep. 2 Celebration & Memory with William Yang

QUEER: Stories from the NGV Collection with Courtney Act by NGV

Episode notes

Courtney talks with photographer, writer, and performer William Yang, whose body of documentary and portraiture photography work since 1970 has engaged with the Sydney gay scene, the impact of HIV/ AIDS and his sense of identity as a Chinese-Australian. Yang discusses his two works in QUEER titled William in Scholar's Costume, from the Old New Borrowed Blue series (2008) and Battling Time (2010). Courtney also chats with Dr Ted Gott, Senior Curator of International Art, NGV about queer royalty and representations of celebration and memory throughout the exhibition.
