Raqs Media Collective (* 1992, by Monica Narula, Jeebesh Bagchi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta). The word \u201craqs\u201d in several languages denotes an intensification of awareness and presence attained by whirling, turning, being in a state of revolution. Raqs take this sense to mean \u2018kinetic contemplation\u2019 and a restless and energetic entanglement with the world, and with time. Raqs practices across several media; making installation, sculpture, video, performance, text, lexica, and curation. Their work finds them at the intersection of contemporary art, philosophical speculation and historical enquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raqs has exhibited widely, including at Documenta, the Venice, Istanbul, Taipei, Liverpool, Shanghai, Sydney and Sao Paulo Biennales. Some solo exhibitions (and projects) include The Bicyclist who Fell into a Timecone, <\/em>Cosmic House, London (2023), The Laughter of Tears <\/em>at the Kunstverein Braunschweig (2021), Pamphilos<\/em> at Fast Forward Festival 6, Athens (2019); Still More World <\/em>at Mathaf Museum of Modern Art, Doha (2019); Twilight Language<\/em> at Manchester Art Gallery (2017-2018); Everything Else is Ordinary<\/em> at K21 Museum for 21st Century Art, Dusseldorf (2018); If It\u2019s Possible, It\u2019s Possible<\/em>, MUAC, Mexico City (2015) and Untimely Calendar<\/em> at the National Gallery of Modern Art, Delhi (2014-2015). Exhibitions curated by Raqs include Afterglow, <\/em>Yokohama Triennale 2020, In The Open or in Stealth<\/em> (MACBA, Barcelona 2018 \u2013 2019); Why Not Ask Again<\/em> (Shanghai Biennale 2016-2017); INSERT2014<\/em> (New Delhi, 2014) and The Rest of Now & Scenarios<\/em> (Manifesta 7, Bolzano, 2008). Raqs intervened in the collections of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Hungry for Time<\/em> – an invitation to epistemic disobedience – in 2021, they were finalists for the design competition for the 22nd July National Memorial in Oslo, Norway (2024) and most recently their exhibition Cavalcade <\/em>has opened at the Neubauer Collegium, Chicago (2025).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
