Join artist Sunil Gupta for a keynote lecture critically addressing issues of race, migration and queer identity in India in relation to his photographic series Sun City (2011), now on view in Moving Still. Over the last thirty years, Gupta’s work has focused on agency and empowerment in India’s gay communities, where homosexuality, until September 2018, was a criminal act under colonial-era law, punishable with ten years of imprisonment.
