About The Event

Raqs Media Collective (Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula, Shuddhabrata Sengupta) broadens our understanding of what artists do. Based in Delhi, India, their focus is on urban space, global circuits, and power structures. They work as a group, employing unusual expressive means such as archive gathering and exhibition making in addition to a large variety of media in their work. Their method is philosophical inquiry and their sculptural installations encourage new cultural practices.

Free to the public.
