About the Artist
William Yang
Photographer and performer William Yang is one of Australia’s most celebrated independent artists, renowned for his poignant work exploring social diversity, belonging and travel. Born of Chinese Australian parents, Yang grew up strongly identifying as Australian although he looked Chinese.
