About Sarai Reader 09: The exhibition
Curated by Raqs Media Collective, Sarai Reader 09 is a nine month exhibition that unfolded as a process generative of visions, concepts, speculations and projections which, in turn, make room for heresy, for new modalities of being, for exchanges, relays and interferences. Artists, researchers, scholars, curators, critics, filmmakers, writers, performers, activists, scientists, photographers, archivists, architects, poets, journalists, were invited to make proposals.

The exhibition was punctuated through "episodes" - points of focus and dispersal - where processes that have been undertaken by artists gathered impetus and opened out across concentrated moments of public attention.

The exhibition takes its name from the Sarai Reader book series, which have been widely recognised as a site of critical and creative thinking. The making of the book 'Sarai Reader 09 (Projections)', accompanied the exhibition.
