Sunil Gupta Retrospective Celebrates Five Decades of Queer Photography

An important exhibition will feature the works of photographer Sunil Gupta, who has documented queer experiences in Delhi, New York, and London over the span of fifty years. Gupta, originally from India and raised in Canada, relocated to the UK in 1978 after his studies in New York. His artistic journey, which commenced in the 1970s, intertwines fiction with reality, capturing hidden moments while drawing inspiration from Romantic artists. Previously, an exhibition in India faced government closure. Gupta's early partnerships promoted queer visibility. The forthcoming showcase will present his iconic images, from urban landscapes to bathhouses, establishing him as a pivotal figure in queer photography and emphasizing the bravery required to produce such work in marginalized settings.
