Merging cultural activism and photography, Sunil Gupta has been instrumental in raising awareness around the fight for international gay rights throughout the modern world and he has been an outspoken campaigner to end the stigma around HIV, with his work exploring his own personal experience of living with the virus.
Throughout his five-decade career, Gupta has documented the key milestones in international LGBTQ history across the globe: from the post-Stonewall days in New York in the 1970s to the dark days of the Aids crisis; from the experiences of gay men in India before the decriminisation of homosexuality through to documenting the violent homophobic attacks which shook London in the 1990s.
