Red Threads: The South Asian Queer Connection in Photographs
by Poulomi Desai, Parminder Sekhon
Category: History

In this collection, the British Queer experience is documented, exploring themes of race, identity, sexuality and culture. The photographs in this book have appeared everywhere from Calcutta to New York, from fetish parties to the pristine whitewashed Photographer's Gallery, printed on posters promoting safe sex and projected onto walls. In full colour throughout, they show people who don't fit into any traditional social boxes: queer Asian Brits, queens in Bollywood drag, women in men's suits or naked on the streets of Britain.
