Raqs Media Collective: Hungry for Time

An Indian art collective decolonizes a classical Viennese art collection

Raqs Media Collective, which uses the term epistemic disobedience to describe its working method, was invited by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna to curate an exhibition drawing from the institute’s historical collection. The India-based collective juxtaposes Eurocentric pieces with contemporary works, thus decolonizing the collection’s holdings.
