Creators:
Gupta, Sunil
Description/Abstract:

Dissent and Desire is a research output created by Professor Sunil Gupta in collaboration with Charan Singh. It comprises a series of photographs depicting the lives of seventeen queer women, men and trans people in India’s capital city, Delhi. The researchers chose this location as they argue that the capital city is a magnet for internal migration and therefore represents a good sample of the nation. Moreover, as a major city it includes all classes of society which Gupta and Singh sought to depict.
