Raqs Media Collective

Raqs Media Collective (*1992, by Monica Narula, Jeebesh Bagchi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta) finds itself at the nexus of contemporary art, historical enquiry, and philosophical speculation. In several languages, the word “raqs” denotes a state of revolution, whirling and turning into an intensified state of awareness. They interpret it as ‘kinetic contemplation’- a restless and energetic entanglement with the world and time. Raqs practices across several media; making installation, sculpture, video, performance, text, lexica, and curation.
