[Culture] Race, migration, and sexuality in focus

In 1976, photographer Sunil Gupta wandered down Christopher Street, New York, with his camera in hand. It was a time after the Stonewall riots but before the AIDS crisis, a time of gay liberation and acceptance. His photos candidly captured the emerging gay public as they walked around the West Village in a style that can only be described as splendidly seventies: black aviators, collared bomber jackets, and majestic moustaches. This series of black and white photos, simply entitled Christopher Street (1976), are part of From Here to Eternity, an exhibition of Gupta's photographs that span his influential five-decade career, held at The Photographer's Gallery, London (Oct 9, 2020–Feb 21, 2021).
