SynopsisA stunning collection of photographs of the LGBTQ community in Thailand, from one of the world's most renowned photographers Steve McCurry is the artist behind some of the most iconic images in contemporary photography. His 1984 portrait of Sharbat Gula ("the Afghan girl") on the cover of National Geographic remains widely recognized to this day. Now McCurry turns his attention to Thailand as part of a series of photobooks on LGBTQ communities around the world. Thailand has long had the reputation as one of the most gay-friendly destinations in Asia, particularly Bangkok with its nightlife and its relative openness and safety. While this may be true for tourists and expats, the idea of Thailand as a haven for LGBTQ people and for same-sex couples, heavily promoted by the tourist industry, does not necessarily extend to Thais themselves. While Thailand is home to the largest LGBTQ communities in Asia, the reality for them is less accepting. Discrimination and exclusion targeting LGBTQ people continues despite a nominally progressive stance on inclusion, and same-sex marriage remains illegal. Against this backdrop, McCurry's lushly colored photographs take us into the vibrant LGBTQ community in Bangkok, and this beautifully packaged, affordably priced book gives us a series of close to one hundred moving and intimate portraits of people who are no longer welcome in the community in which they grew up, but who have forged a new life and a new meaning of family in the queer community. Belonging was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS)., Platform: Steve McCurry has over 3 million followers on Instagram, where he regularly posts his work. Reputation: Steve McCurry is one of the world's most-renowned and most-recognized photojournalists. He continues to publish his photography in a variety of major publications, including National Geographic. The author of dozens of outstanding photographic books, McCurry has been recognized with some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal, National Press Photographers Award, and an unprecedented four first prize awards from the World Press Photo contest. The Minister of French Culture has also appointed McCurry a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters and most recently, the Royal Photographic Society in London awarded McCurry the Centenary Medal for Lifetime Achievement. Serial: The previous books in the series were picked up for serial in major LGBTQ and photography publications, and there is a strong likelihood that this will be too. Outreach: Dedicated communications and advertising campaign geared toward LGBTQ community. Beautiful, affordable package: French flaps with full color throughout. Funding: The book is funded by the ARCUS foundation, which will help promote the book.
