In this collection, the British Asian Queer experience is intimately documented, exploring themes of race, identity, sexuality and culture. It ultimately presents the reader and viewer with positive and vibrant images of queer visibility.
These photographs have appeared everywhere from Calcutta to New York, from the fetish night to the whitewashed Photographers' Gallery, printed on safe-sex posters and projected onto walls. In full colour throughout, they show people who don't fit in boxes: queer Asian Brits, queens in Bollywood drag, women in men's suits or naked in the street.
With commentary by three thoughtful and radical cultural theorists, Sunil Gupta, Raman Mundair and Cherry Smyth, this unique book is as suitable for the college course or on the coffee table.
The first of its kind, Red Threads is a not-to-be-missed formative opportunity.
