Interviews with Ghalib Shiraz Dhalla, Sanjay Chhugani, and Manoj Kumar

DESCRIPTION
Interviews with Ghalib Shiraz Dhalla, Sanjay Chhugani, and Manoj Kumar accompanying an Archival Intimacies exhibit about the history of Satrang. This selection of documents, photographs, invite cards, and recordings showcases the affective relationships formed through Satrang events and the community they fostered. In “Ephemera as Evidence”, José Esteban Muñoz reminds us that a true queer community cannot be fully captured in the archive, however, this is the glue that holds it together–be it cooking or a night out. Many of these events were organized in partnership with other queer AAPI and Middle Eastern groups, showcasing the ways that various communities in LA collaborated and intermingled. International Mosaic was a yearly picnic where the myriad LGBTQ groups in LA could gather together and share food, music, and company. The integral part that food played is represented by two recipes from Sanjay Chhugani, considered the chef and the foodie of the whole community.
