Events, outings, and things to do for Australians living in New York City
Ahead of her one-woman show All These Pretty Things at the Australian Theatre Festival later this month, musician, photographer, writer and theatre-maker Tracey Yarad talks to us about starting over, finding her own little village in New York, and the creative power of reinvention.
AWNY is thrilled to be supporting the New York Magpies Women’s AFL team for a very special event.
The Queensland Fire Department Women’s AFL team is coming to New York as part of the 25th anniversary of September 11 commemorations.
On September 13 they will take on the NY Magpies at the beautiful Governors Island Parade Ground. The FDNY will also be joining with a special colour guard ceremony. It promises to be a powerful celebration of sport, community, friendship and the connections between Australia and New York.
What a day! The annual Big Aussie BBQ returned to Rockefeller Park at Battery Place, hosted by the ever-fantastic America Josh. With blue skies, sunshine, sizzling sausages, a few cold Aussie beers, and a backyard full of sports and games, it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon celebrating the Australian community in New York City.
An intriguing photograph of an extinct bird joined other works from New Zealand in The Met in 2025. Solitary Female Huia by Fiona Pardington (2006, inkjet print, reprinted 2024) is one of a series of confronting, mournful bird photographs, several of which can be seen at the Venice Biennale now and through until November 2026. The Met exhibits just one photograph from this remarkable group, but it is such a compelling work that much can be learned from it about the artist, her philosophy and the cultural traditions she draws on.
