POULOMI DESAI
"Poulomi's photographic/performance work has spanned over 15 years and been exposed in diverse locations from the seedy Dome Club in Tufnell Park to the white-washed walls of the Photographers Gallery, from Calcutta to New York, Derby to Dhaka, Southall to Slough, libraries, after hour drinking clubs, museums, fetish nights and women-only tents.
