William Yang: Milestone
Since celebrating his 80th birthday, William Yang, one of Australia’s most revered visual and performance artists, reflects on his remarkable life in Milestone.
Drawing on his vast collection of documentary photographs and poignant personal reminiscences, Yang weaves together themes of family, cultural, and sexual identity with his signature blend of warmth, disarming humour, and total candour.
Set against Elena Kats-Chernin’s haunting score, performed live by Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, Milestone is the life of an iconic Asia Pacific artist chronicling key Australian stories. Unassuming, evocative, and honestly examined, Yang looks back on his vast archive of photography, contemplating five decades of social change and the evolution of Australia’s bohemian artist community.
Above all, from his viewpoint as the last of his generation, Milestone is Yang contemplating the importance of family and the ties binding relations all around the world.
William Yang: Milestone is part of Brisbane Festival. Find out more here.
