Bathhouse Photo Exhibit Shut Down, As mentioned here<\/b><\/a><\/u>, Sunil Gupta<\/a><\/u><\/b> is an Indian born Canadian photographer.<\/p>\n

He has a traveling exhibition of some of his photos titled Sun City and Other Stories: Paris-San Francisco-Delh taken from his book Queer<\/b><\/a><\/u>. Some of the photos feature Indian men in a bathhouse.<\/p>\n

Francophone festival at the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise<\/a><\/u><\/b> displayed his work to positive reviews on March 23, 2012.<\/p>\n

However following an anonymous complaint, Indian police arrived on the scene to investigate. The very next day, Gupta\u2019s entire exhibition was removed. That is very strange and in itself a head scratcher.<\/p>\n

As to why an official at Alliance Fran\u00e7aise<\/a><\/u><\/b> said: “The decision to shut down the exhibition was taken by the director [of Alliance Fran\u00e7aise<\/a><\/u><\/b>] unanimously with the artist. The opening of the exhibition, held on Friday, was a private affair and during the opening only it was decided that we will not continue with the exhibition.”<\/p>\n

Queer<\/b><\/a><\/u> is now available in most bookstores. Click Sun City<\/b><\/a><\/u> for more bathhouse images from the Sun City Photo Exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
