If Shiva can wear lipstick why cant I? This exhibition provides the viewer with a glimpse into the experiences and documented history of Asian LGBT communities. The show includes works that is a historical journey into Asian LGBT identities, such as Poulomi Desai's book `Red Threads'; a photographic journey taken over 10 years documenting Asian queer life in the UK, and Maya Chowdhry's and Vijay Patel's investigation of the sexuality and sensuality of Indian deities. 

Present day narratives are explored through Maya's visual poetry and the artist Vijay Patel's drawings. Documentation taken from a project between Manchester based artists Sphere and a local LGBT group, in which members individually created their own bed installations; each expressing their own personal histories through sound, visual art and projection continue the dialogue. The exhibition poses the question; how `invisible' or hidden are these communities that have historically been an integral part of the diversity Indian culture?
