Sunil Gupta

Sunil Gupta is a photographer, curator, writer and activist and over a career spanning more than four decades, Gupta has maintained a visionary approach to photography, producing bodies of work that are pioneering in their social and political commentary. His diasporic experience of multiple cultures informs a practice dedicated to the themes of race, migration, and queer identity—and his life is a point of departure for photographic projects, born from a desire to see himself and others like him represented in art history.
