This is @aperturefnd continuing our takeover on @BOP_Bristol’s Instagram! Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing highlights from our Fall 2022 publishing season and titles we’ll be featuring at the festival.⁠ ⁠ “We Were Here: Sexuality, Photography, and Cultural Difference” (Aperture, 2022) offers an unparalleled firsthand account of the influential photographer and curator Sunil Gupta’s writing and critical inquiry since the 1970s.⁠ ⁠ From writings on homosexuality in Indian cities, to the Black Arts Movement, to key figures such as Joy Gregory and Robert Mapplethorpe, Gupta (@sunilgupta7402) foregrounds the power of cultural activism in the politically fraught contexts of London and Delhi—and illuminates the essential connections between queer migration and self-discovery. Continually questioning given forms of identity, Gupta offers artists and curators multiple strategies of resistance, carving out space for new ways of imagining what it might mean to live, love, and create.⁠ ⁠ Visit Aperture at BOP fair on October 8 for a signing of “We Were Here” with Sunil Gupta.⁠ ⁠ Image: Sunil Gupta, Outtake from the series Exiles, Delhi, 1986; from “We Were Here: Sexuality, Photography, and Cultural Difference” (Aperture, 2022).
