Let All the Stars Inside Me Shine/ What I See is Me

 Dear Agents, we're very excited to bring you the second part in a fun series of images, made for you with love! What's it all about? Well, although the English language media in India is sensitive to LGBTQ issues, there is not enough representation of LGBTQ persons that goes beyond pride marches​ or a few key events. When writing about the community, media professionals find it difficult to get hold of appropriate images that are local and representative. For these images, as part of the Being Equal campaign, Agents of Ishq is collaborating with Yaariyan and the Humsafar Trust to create diverse, more nuanced images of the LGBTQ community that will be part of the public domain, and free to use for any individual or media outlet. All you have to do is give due credit to photographer Reshma Pritam Singh and Agents of Ishq/Humsafar Trust. In this series, we focus on public performance. So come along, join the show!
