Sunil Gupta: From Here to Eternity (2020)

From Here to Eternity traces Sunil Guptas life through his personal archive: the snapshots, postcards, letters, posters, and news clippings collected during his long career in photography and activism. These fragments of ephemera are annotated with Guptas handwritten notes, mapping a four-decade-long journey investigating the question what does it mean to be a gay Indian man? Moments from protests, the black arts movement in Britain, the fight for representation in photography and beyond, and Guptas work around queer visibility in India are shared alongside mementoes from friends, family and relationships. What emerges is a powerful, and deeply personal, record of the artists struggles, victories, and a life lived through the complex politics of social change. Published to accompany the major exhibition From Here to Eternity: Sunil Gupta. A Retrospective at The Photographers Gallery, London 9 Oct 2020 24 Jan 2021; and touring to Ryerson Image Centre Gallery, Toronto autumn 2021.
