Lal Poster got his name making posters for student films since 2012. His involvement in university politics between 2013-19 helped his body of work to grow in its purposefulness and include not just film posters but to also get philosophically and conceptually articulate. Today, Lal Poster or Gulal Salil, as he is locally known, is an urban ethnographer and poet, artist and journalist, with an anarchic bent, reporting his observations to the world.
