Raqs Media Collective was formed by three media artists Jeebesh Bagchi , Monica Narula  and Shuddhabrata Sengupta in New Delhi in 1992.  This collective provided an extremely important vehicle for their personal narrative and response. They work as curators, artists, social theorists and activists. Using this non traditional model of an artist’s career path they have contributed to a wide range of traditionally prestigious exhibitions such as Documenta, the Venice Biennale, Manifesta 7 and The Indian Highway at the Serpentine Gallery in London.
