Delhi: Looking Out/Looking in: Aperture 243

This summer, Aperture presents a special issue focused on the relationship between photography, urbanism, and activist trajectories from New Delhi. The issue explores multiple incarnations of the city's photographic culture, from Bharat Sikka's new series considering queer identity and youth culture, to OP Sharma's experimental photographic works from the 1960s. Interviews with revered writer Arundhati Roy and with Bangladesh's best-known photojournalist Shahidul Alam illuminate urban life as sites of protest, in the city and throughout South Asia, while an essay by Skye Arundathi Thomas revisits Sheba Chhachhi's feminist practice and signature staged portraits of women from the 1980s and '90s. Featuring a cross-section of dynamic image makers and thinkers, such as Ishan Tankha, Sunil Gupta, Sabeena Gadihoke, and Jyoti Dhar, and emerging voices Aditi Jain and Uzma Moshin, the issue pushes forward distinctive visions for thinking about regionalism, politics, identity, and photographic ideas, through archival and contemporary viewpoints.
