Raqs Media Collective

Seepage

Anyone who wants to know what the clever, sophisticated, emotionally pungent Raqs Media Collective is all about should look at the clock on their home page, where numbers are replaced by words like epiphany, remorse, indifference, awe and fatigue. This book gathers together texts by the Delhi-based collective Monica Narula, Jeebesh Bagchi, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta). Raqs has been variously described as artists, media practitioners, curators, researchers, editors, and catalysts of cultural processes. Their work, which has been exhibited widely in major international spaces and events, locates them at the intersections of contemporary art, historical enquiry, philosophical speculation, research, and theory — often taking the form of installations, online and offline media objects, performances, and encounters. The collective is based at Sarai, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, an initiative they co-founded in 2000.
