Sunil Gupta is an artist, curator, writer and cultural activist. In 1989 he co-founded Autograph: the Association of Black Photographer and also set up the Organization for Visual Arts (OVA) in 1992, both in London, to promote a greater understanding of culturally diverse practises in the visual arts. His latest book Queer Sunil Gupta was published by Prestel/Vadehra Art Gallery in March 2011. His latest art project, Sun City about a gay Indian man in a Paris bath house was commissioned and is currently being exhibited by the Centre Pompidou, Paris in May-Sept, 2011 as part of their "Paris-Delhi-Bombay..." exhibition. Gupta currently lives in Delhi and London.

Anna Fox has been working in photography and video for nearly thirty years. Influenced by British documentary tradition and US 'New Colorists,' her first work, Workstations, published and exhibited first at Camerawork, London (1988), observed with a critical eye London office culture in the mid-Thatcher years. Later work documenting weekend war games, Friendly Fire, was exhibited in the exhibition Warworks at the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Netherlands Foto Instituut and the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography. Her solo shows have been seen at the Photographer's Gallery, London, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago and her work has been included in numerous international group shows including "Through the Looking Glass," "Documentary Dilemmas" and "New Natural History," among others. She has had several monographs of her work published, and the first retrospective of her work, "Cockroach Diary and other Stories," opened at Impressions Gallery in the summer of 2008. Fox's work has recently been exhibited in "From Tarzan to Rambo" at the Tate Modern; Centre of the Creative Universe: Liverpool and the "Avant Garde" at the Tate Liverpool, and "How We Are: Photographing Britain" at Tate Britain. Anna Fox is professor of photography at the University College for the Creative Arts (UCA), Farnham, England.

The William Morris Hunt Memorial Library hosts a continuing series of exhibitions of works created by students at SMFA.

"Confessions"

Rachael Bernardini was born in Rockport, MA and she now lives and works in Boston, MA. She is currently a student at the School of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston where she received her BFA in 2011. Her work consists of photographs and artist books, which seek to discuss issues of guilt in an attempt to understand the "human condition". This show includes three photographic bodies of work and three artist books all dealing with different notions of guilt and redemption. The photographic bodies of work include two collaborative series with Museum School graduates Michael Madden and Nikkia Margaret Hall. Rachael has exhibited at the William Morris Hunt Memorial Library in 2009 and published two artist books now in the library collection.

"Confessions" will be on view at The William Morris Hunt Memorial Library from August 12, 2011 through October 12, 2011.
