Field Work

In Episode 6, Drew Pettifer speaks to artist William Yang, the Hon Michael Kirby and academic Paul Sendziuk about queer rights, the AIDS pandemic and representation. William Yang is a prolific storyteller. His photographs and monologues with slide projections describe his experience of coming to terms with his identity as a gay Chinese Australian. Yang’s work is a rich visual record of queer histories and struggles, as well as a personal exploration of his Chinese heritage and family relationships. Often inscribed with handwritten commentary, his visual stories offer insightful reflections on cultural identity. FIELD WORK is produced by Channon Goodwin, Drew Pettifer, and supported by Bus Projects with funding from Copyright Agency Cultural Fund. Audio production, editing and mixing by Bec Fary. FIELD WORK theme music is by Martin King and graphic design is by Lachlan Siu.
