Red Threads is a ravishing, sublime and insightful photographic book by two very different British Queer South Asian photographers, Poulomi Desai and Parminder Sekhon. Tracing their contrasting portraiture work since the 1980’s and 1990’s, their images explore layered, complex issues of sexuality, gender, race, class and identity within wider political contexts. With brilliant essays by Sunil Gupta, Raman Mundair and Cherry Smyth.
