Shuddhabrata Sengupta, Raqs Media Collective. Emendations: 30 Years of Art and Politics
Founded the same year as the Vera List Center for Art and Politics but halfway across the globe, the Raqs Media Collective has sustained a practice in media, contemporary art, and curation since 1992. In this illustrated 30th Anniversary Keynote Lecture, Raqs co-founder Shuddhabrata Sengupta speaks to the ways in which the constancy of practice requires its own acts of mending, of correction, and of changing course.
This event will also be livestreamed on veralistcenter.org.
Presented by Vera List Center for Art and Politics at Schools of Public Engagement.

Shuddhabrata Sengupta (born 1968, Delhi) is an artist, writer and curator with the Raqs Media Collective, based in Delhi. Raqs was formed in 1992 by Monica Narula, Jeebesh Bagchi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta. The word ‘raqs’ in several languages denotes an intensification of awareness and presence attained by whirling, turning, being in a state of revolution. Raqs Media Collective take this sense to mean ‘kinetic contemplation’, and a restless entanglement with the world, and with time.
Raqs has exhibited widely, including at Documenta, the Venice, Istanbul, Taipei, Liverpool, Shanghai, Sydney and Sao Paulo Biennales. They have had solo shows in museums, in Boston, Brussels, Madrid, Delhi, Shanghai, London, New York, Toronto, Dusseldorf, Manchester, Doha, Buenos Aires among others.
