A groundbreaking study of global modernity and the cultural interchange between America and South Asia, Photo-Attractions uses a rare and unpublished set of 1938 photographs taken by the photographer Carl Van Vechten of the Indian dancer Ram Gopal in exotic costumes to raise provocative questions about race, sexual identity, photographic technology, colonial histories, and transcultural desires.
